I\u2019m currently reading the book, \u201cWarrior Monk\u201d by Ray Keating. It is about a man named Stephen Grant who is a former CIA analyst turned Lutheran pastor. Yeah, it\u2019s a hard one to imagine, but it makes for a good read.<\/p>\n

I was amused by a conversation between Grant and Father McDermott, the local Roman Catholic priest:<\/p>\n

\n

After taking a hearty swig of his draft from Holland, Ron asked, \u201cDo you have any plans, Stephen, of moving from Wittenberg to Rome that I don\u2019t know about?<\/p>\n

Stephen was surprised. \u201cWhat? Become a Roman Catholic? Are you kidding?\u201d That came out wrong. He recovered, needling his friend. \u201cHow many times do I have to tell you, Ron, we Lutherans are the real Catholics? We\u2019ve reformed the Church, still waiting for you guys to catch up. After all, it\u2019s been nearly 500 years.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I thought it was humorous. Maybe it\u2019s just me.<\/p>\n
