Living Word Christian Center, where Bachmann made this appearance during her 2006 congressional campaign, is a mega-church in Minnesota that preaches a "prosperity gospel" (i.e., "God wants you to be rich and we'll help you get there"). An article in the Minnesota Independent details the scandals and investigations that have swirled around its pastor, Mac Hammond:
In 2006, the church gained notoriety when Hammond took to the pulpit to endorse Rep. Michele Bachmann for her first election to Congress. Hammond’s backing prompted complaints to the IRS and raised eyebrows, since Hammond didn’t live in Bachmann’s district.
Hammond’s financial troubles come after years of financial growth for the church and for Hammond personally. The “prosperity gospel” Hammond preaches asserts that financial gain is a sign of God’s love.

The orthodoxy of the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod holds that the Pope is the Antichrist:
Bachmann and her husband have recently quit the Salem Lutheran Church, presumably because the church's stance in regard to the Pope will win her no favor with Catholic voters.
