Mozolak's <a href="http://www.alpb.org/forum/index.php?topic=5768.msg357559#msg357559" rel="nofollow">complete January 26, 2015, comment</a> was:<br /><br /><i>The Athan. Creed does bring out the laity's questions and concerns... albeit, interestingly it has often less to do with the works saving us and more to do with the word "catholic" and having to believe something catholic to be saved. The ole prejudices die with difficulty... I still hear folks when confessing either of the other two creed from LBW using Christian as their quietly said substitute for catholic. Teaching the head has nothing to do with changing the heart of emotion.</i> <br /><br />NALC, XXXA, and the LCMS have more pressing theological problems than whether a layman or even the Creeds in the Book of Concord of 1580 use "<i>Chrisliche</i>" rather than "<i>catholicam</i>" in referring to the invisible Church.Carl Vehsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00348831096001668813noreply@blogger.com
