"That's Too Catholic" - A Discussion (Part I) on the Didymus Podcast

Last week, I had the privilege of speaking with the Revs. Joseph and Jesse Schlie on The Didymus Podcast. Twin brothers, pastors, and 2019 graduates of Concordia Theological Seminary in Fort Wayne, their podcast takes on various cliches that are commonly heard in our corner of Christendom, such as “Closed Communion is unloving,” “It doesn’t matter what you believe as long as you believe in Jesus,” or, most recently, “That’s Too Catholic” (Part 1). We talked through chanting, the sign of the cross and outward expressions of reverence like bowing and kneeling, with more to come in a second episode on saints days, vestments, and crucifixes. It was particularly fun because it felt like a conversation we might have had over lunch back in seminary — though a little more structured.
