Here's Where Bachmann Publicly Denied Her Church Believes The Pope Is The Anti-Christ
People are submitting evidence that Bachmann's church believes that the Pope is the Anti-Christ. It may be helpful for them to review her adamant denial of that charge on the October 29, 2006 televised WCCO debate:
Pat Kessler of WCCO: We’ll start with Senator Bachmann. Religion and politics—that has crept into this campaign over and over again; the Minneapolis-based Star Tribune reports today, Senator, that the church you belong to is affiliated with the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod, which, it says, regards the Roman Catholic pope as the Anti-Christ. Is this true, do you share the views of your church, and why should any Catholic in the Sixth District vote for you if it is true?
Bachmann: Well that’s a false statement that was made, and I spoke with my pastor earlier today about that as well, and he was absolutely appalled that someone would put that out. It’s abhorrent, it’s religious bigotry. I love Catholics, I’m a Christian, and my church does not believe that the Pope is the Anti-Christ, that’s absolutely false.
And again I think it’s abhorrent, and I’ve welcomed and have as part of our family many Catholics members as well, and so I’m very grateful that my pastor has come out and been very clear on this matter, and I think it’s patently absurd and it’s a false statement.
So now that all you people who've reviewed the WELS doctrine on this matter have read this denial--what is your conclusion? Was she flat-out lying (again) in her answer at this debate? Or what?
