Your understanding of history is in error. There were no "two sides" to the "St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre."

That trecherous slaughter was not called "The St. Bartholomew's Day Battle."

The killing did NOT "go the other way." Thousands of men, women and children were routed from their sleep and had their throats cut.

You defend the indefensible and try to rewrite history at your own peril.

I'm referring to the massacre which occurred the preceding year on the same date, in which Protestants killed a group of Catholics who were surrendering. Look it up.

As for the rest, see vladimir998's post. He explains it well.

If anyone is "rewriting history," it's Foxe, complete with his "third century" persecutions, and the faithful "reformed" Albigenses.
