Rome drifts further to the right

Rarely does a week go by when someone doesn't suggest that Lutherans ought return to Rome and patch things up. Over the years, I have watched some colleagues do that very thing, at least on an individual basis. I think it has been more about them than anything else. 

When I consider the strife in the ELCA these days and wonder what I might do if the inmates ever take over the asylum, I know one thing for a fact-Rome will not be that port in a storm. Personally, their thoughts on women in position of leadership don't impact me-but they sure impact some people who are pretty important to me. Big stumbling block.

I can almost admire their consistency of thought regarding death-or at least causing it. But, every so often something like this happens  and it wakes me up like nothing else can. It pushes me to the point of saying, "enough of this talk, let them come to us." On their knees.

So much of life is not black and white, no matter how much Rome's authority figures dress in it. Adults should not screw children. 9 year old children should not be forced to have babies.

When is Rome going to wake up?
