Today they are Waldensians!

Your Pope recently asked for their forgiveness for persecuting and slaughtering them.
“Today they are Waldensians!”
No. They ceased being Waldensians when they became Calvinists in the 16th century. Then they became Methodists. This is why they talk about it themselves: http://www.studivaldesi.org/dizionario/evan_det.php?evan_id=173
“Your Pope recently asked for their forgiveness for persecuting and slaughtering them.”
This pope asks everyone for forgiveness - so much so that it is becoming meaningless. I wonder if the Waldensians will ask for forgiveness for their heresy in the Middle Ages, their heresy in the modern era and their support for gay marriage?
