To a degree it was necessary for Protestantism to spring into life

I know, there is a divine permissive will in all that. It was perhaps better for the Protestant infection run its course and now we can say: it was tried and discarded, as a big error. But I can't help feeling sorry for the Protestants mired in their delusions and putting their salvation in serious danger.

many Protestants seek only to re-establish the First Century Church. yet others are clearly Orthodoxy without the bishops. You'll find, if you research the matter, that most Protestants consider churches with bishops to be simply Catholic churches under another name.

I know that last point is not shared by the RCC except where the Pope himself shares it! So we won't go into it.

Hope you caught my reference to Cardinal Carvajal ~ back in the early 1500s. He's the reason there was no Protestant movement in Spain ~ because if there had been he'd been the leader.

It's hardly a delusion
