Articulating our differences is not "trashing the beliefs of others."

It's always interesting to recall that Protestants have no formal curses written down and preserved in ink and blood against Roman Catholics, while the RCC maintains its violent anathemas against all who believe Christians are justified by faith in Christ alone.

Describing Protestant authority in terms of believing the scriptures and Catholic authority as blind obedience to men isn't "articulating differences," it's setting up a strawman misrepresentation of the other side's POV and then smashing it to score polemical points.

No, incorporating "Pope is the antichrist" language in every one of your 16th century confessions isn't any sort of written and preserved formal curse.
