Kjent amerikansk luthersk pastor ble katolikk i 2003
Leonard Klein, sogneprest i Christ Lutheran Church, York, Pennsylvania, USA, ble katolikk for snart to år siden – jeg har lest hans begrunnelse på nytt i dag. I sitt brev til sin menighet skrev han i 2003:
bq. «I have come to believe that in the Reformers’ proper intention to fix genuine problems in the late medieval church, they made a number of serious mistakes that cannot now be corrected. We lost the ancient apostolic form of governance by bishops, a vibrant sense of a communion in prayer with the saints living and dead, and a full understanding of how God changes people through the Gospel and leads them to holiness. We lost continuity and we lost a clear understanding of the role of holy Tradition.»
