“Most contemporary protestants are unaware of and thus protest the original tenets of the founders of their own denominations. “

I’m not sure that you realize what a small percent of Christians look to Luther, Calvin or Zwingli as their founders... We are thankful for what they recovered. They are not viewed as infallible. They are simply a part of Church history we learn from.

I can assure you I am aware of their failings! And their insights and am thankful for recovering the Gospel of Grace and promoting the wide spread of the Scriptures in ordinary language.

This is why I just do not understand why all this “DIY” interpitation of the Bible by later Protestants when their early reformers believed in regards to Mary.
