Joint Statements with the Papists Again

Treatise on the Power and Primacy of the Pope, paragraph 79 “So the bishops who are devoted to the pope defend godless doctrine and godless services. They do not ordain godly teachers, and they aid the cruelty of the pope. Besides, they have wrestled away the jurisdiction from pastors and exercise it tyrannically ‹for their own profit›. Finally, in marriage cases they observe many unjust laws. So there are enough and necessary reasons why the churches should not recognize these men as bishops.” http://www.tulsaworld.com/opinion/readersforum/bishop-david-konderla-and-the-rev-barrie-henke-put-children/article_8c2eebae-e5b8-56ab-8bd5-1a2aa905f446.html
