I can also attest that there are Lutheran bishops. Obviously different from Catholic bishops, as they don't have holy orders and such. If I remember correctly, they're voted into the office of bishop.

As for calling their services a "mass", maybe its a German thing, although both Catholic Mass and Lutheran services have quite a few similarities.

I think that answers our question

Yahoo just did not state things correctly, mass = Catholic. It is confused a lot though I guess.

I went to mass at my old school. The liturgy was almost identical except for the references to Mary.
