Breaking News from 1517: Lutheran Church “Anti-Catholic”
This story from James Oliphant at the Los Angeles Times is just hilarious. It just shows such a glaring ignorance of basic Christian history and theology he should be embarrassed.

Obama Supports, Opposes “Same-Sex Marriage” at Same Time, Lapdog Press Goes Along
