In response to my comments about the “road to Rome” charge, Eric Enlow of Handong International Law School writes:
“I would connect sacramentalism with the road to Rome for an empirical reason. The individuals that I have known who have been most interested in sacramentalism have converted to Roman Catholicism. They might have become Lutherans if sacramentalism alone motivated them — but I believe they were attracted by the general romantic atmosphere of Roman Catholic religion,” a romanticized picture of the unity and stability of the Catholic church.
