Actually it did and made no bones about it in the 16th century. Also, in America, the Anglican Church became the “Protestant Episcopal Church” after the American Revolution. That names was used I think until the 1970s. Thus, they knew what their roots were. Today some Anglicans try to have it both ways: http://www.christchurchanglican.org/ang_topix/protestant.html
And, if you knew anything about history, you would know that the name “Protestant” is used in the Coronation Service when the King promises to maintain “the Protestant religion as by law established”. “Protetsant” was from the beginning popularly applied to the Anglican beliefs and services. In the Act of Union the Churches of England and Ireland are called “the Protestant Episcopal Church”. Thus, the Anglicans admitted that they were Protestant. Why is it that Protestants don’t know their own history?
Most of the rest of your post is irrelevant.
“I also note that you have not responded to my question as to just why the Douay-Rheims was out of print and not selling at all as recently as 1970.”
False. I did answer it. Look at post 77.
“Care to address this or is it a “fluke” as well?”
No. I already did so.
“It almost sounds as if Catholics weren’t encouraged to read the Bible as so many have claimed and you’ve strenuously denied.”
False. We were encouraged to read the Bible and nothing I said says otherwise.
“Surely that wasn’t the case. Elaborate.”
No. If you can’t read plain English, then no amount of elaboration will matter. If you’re going to claim - falsely - that I never answered questions I did, then no amount of writing on my part will help the tendency of yours.
Well, then, I suppose their detesting Martin Luther was rather inexplicable, then.
You don't define your own beliefs very well. Work on that before you start shufflling history around to suit your partisan wants.
Speaking of defining, the State Church of so many colonies redefining itself after a genuinely Protestant revolution that resulted in the disestablishment of same is unsurprising.
Ask a member of the Church of England, in England, if they're Protestant. Have you ever met one? I don't think you have.
