Are Lutherans like Catholics?
Yes, in more ways than we are not. If you would attend a Lutheran worship service, you would find much similarity in the order of service, the lessons that are read, the hymns that are sung, the dress of the clergy, and the belief in the Triune God. The main beliefs that separate Lutherans from Catholics are the authority of the pope, the veneration of Mary, whether women can serve as priests or pastors, and whether priests can marry or not. On most other matters, Lutherans and Catholics are virtually in agreement.
