While I'm RCC, I find a lot of the reforms the Lutherans have adopted, admirable. It's very rare to hear of abuse by their ministers and certainly no systematic cover ups by higher ups. No international financial scandals either. Women are respected as equals and participate fully in their church. While LGBT are still not fully accepted, at least they are open to change. 

We in the RCC could learn a lot from others if we are willing to put our pride on a leash.
