PRE-VATICAN II LUTHERANS OFTEN HIT THE BALL OUT OF THE PARK WITH THEIR CATHOLIC LOOKING PRE-VATICAN II CHURHCES

 Yes, this is a Lutheran Church, although the table in front of the magnificent pre-Vatican II Lutheran altar is very post-Vatican II looking and one would think this is a post-Vatican II church, except the altar railing tells you Lutherans built it:


And then there’s this post-Vatican II Lutheran Liturgy. How is it that Martin Luther’s descendants are liturgically more Catholic than many post-Vatican II Catholics. What’s up with that?

My cousin was raised Lutheran and I sang the Ave Maria at her wedding in the 1970s. The Lutheran Church she was married at looked far more Catholic than my wreckovated parish church

The protestants, not being influenced by the agendas circulating within the RC at that time, evidently decided to pick and choose those reforms that appealed to them.
