Some here may be interested (as many on this forum are converts or thinking of conversion) in a series of dialogues I am involved in, with two Lutheran pastors (LCMS) and a man who was one of their congregants, who recently became a Catholic. It is been both an amiable and substantive exchange (relatively rare in such encounters on the Internet):
Lutheran-Catholic Group Dialogue Commences: Introductions (+ Discussion
Lutheran-Catholic Group Dialogue #2: The Nature of the True Church and Authoritative Christian Tradition / Questions on Institutional Separation (+ Discussion)
Lutheran-Catholic Dialogue #3: Comparative Ecclesiology / Grace & Merit / Lutheran View of the Mass Compared to the Catholic View of Lutheran Worship (+ Discussion)
Lutheran-Catholic Dialogue #4: "Tragic Necessity" of Reform / Indulgences / Nominalism / Causes of Schism / Luther on "Papists" / Fathers' Authority (+ Discussion)
Lutheran-Catholic Dialogue #5: "Antichrist": Is He the Pope or Office of the Papacy? (Johnny Montalvo)
