Hence we cannot approve of the rigid judgment of those who charge such churches with idolatry (in which those days are still kept, the names of the saints being retained), since they agree with us in doctrine concerning the worship of God alone and detest the idolatry of the papists (p. 104).

I believe this disqualifies the Caucus protection of this thread.

When I read the word “papists” in the text, I thought the same thing.

The term papist is indeed used.

But if you read the the context of the article the author is refuting the stance of a Reformed father.

He is not using the tern in a current context, but in the context of a historical document.

This alone should be enough:

...the idolatry of the papists...
