LCMS Pastor Jack Cascione and his Universalist brother pastor, William Bischoff, love to bemoan the Missouri Synod’s tolerance of Reformed doctrine. Oh the tragedy of it all! If only they could run the show! One of their favorite speakers, Don Matzat, left the pastoral ministry to work at a Reformed radio station. Talk about unionism and abandoning the Means of Grace! But Matzat has the brass to give a paper on “Will the Real LCMS Pastor Please Stand Up?” Let us hope and pray he sat to give this paper, as any Roman Catholic bishop or pope would do. Ex cathedra, Matzat is infallibly hypocritical. Read the list of his brother ministers at the radio station, a job which “Reclaiming Walther” and “LutherQuest” brags about.

 

Note that Cascione wants to stop the unionism of the LCMS. Start at home, Jack. Start at home. Work your way up to The Barry Patch, but get some credibility first.

 

Title: "Will the Real LCMS Pastor Please Stand Up?"
By Rev. Donald G. Matzat

"I believe this crisis over our Doctrines of Church and Ministry is understandable and was even predictable. In the forties and fifties, with our experience of numerical growth, we became complacent. We did not adequately teach the people. Now we are reaping the results. A wake-up call is being sounded to the members of our congregations. They need to ask themselves some questions. Who are we? Why are we here? Where are we going? How are we going to get there? This is not about pastors, theologians, and District Presidents and Synodical officials. This is about the people in the pews. This is not merely a discussion of abstract theological concepts. The issue is our future mission, ministry, and growth as we move into the next millennium."
