I didn’t know that Papist was a nickname for deacon in a Southern Baptist church. But that being the case, I guess I’ve been a Papist for the last 13 years. I’ve also been a Sunday school teacher for much of that time as well? What do you call those?
I also didn’t know that being a Protestant meant having to admire genocidal tyrants. Nor did I know that being conservative meant denying that fact that revolutions, even against corrupt regimes, often end up replacing those regimes with something much worse.
Who are the Tyrants?
My Huguenot ancestors might differ with you. After the massacre, they ended up in the Netherlands and then England...with the "Tyrant" Cromwell, fighting under his banner.
Cromwell was not perfect and the retaliations he engaged in were not justified in their death counts.
Neither were the massacres of tens of thousands starting with the Albigensians and continuing until the 19th Century.
If you deny they exist then you don't know your own history as a Baptist.
