Protestants don’t really care what Catholics “buy into.” They stopped caring the day Martin Luther nailed his ninety-five theses to the church door. They stopped caring when they were able to read the Bible for themselves in their own language. They stopped caring when they learned they no longer had to buy indulgences from the Catholic Church to find salvation. They stopped caring when many of the early Protestant reformers were burned at the stake by Catholics in the name of the “true religion.”

The Catholic Church is the church Peter established and the only legitimate Christian church? What a lot of hooey!

Where are Bachmann’s guts? If she can be cowed this easily, she does have the cojones to be president.

“Protestants”

Who are these people? We have over 35,000 varieties at last count and splinter groups among the same denominations just like the Church of England.
