Without getting WAAAAYYYY down into the dogmatic weeds on the positions of Lutherans and the Catholic Church, this position and others like it are common with many Protestants and Evangelicals and highlight the differences between Christian denominations.
I do agree with you on the irony here. I'm definitely not thrilled with Bachmann's move to leave her church. I understand why politicians do what they do, but stand up and explain your beliefs and let the American people decide (Catholic or otherwise), don't run from them.
This is very similar to Obama throwing Wright overboard.
