This Baptist may have abandoned all the traditional orthodox Christian doctrines, but he has preserved the core tradition of the Reformation: blind hatred of the Catholic Church.
” but he has preserved the core tradition of the Reformation: blind hatred of the Catholic Church.”
Anyone can call themselves a Baptist, just as anyone can call themselves a Catholic. There are “Catholic” nuns pushing for abortion on demand. Yet the Protestants on FR aren’t blaming the Catholic church for that, are we?
The opposition to the RC church was hardly “blind.” You may disagree with all or some of the 95 Theses, but they are articulate and serious points, not blind rage.
As for hatred, it was RCs torturing and killing Protestants during the Inquisition, issuing papal bulls and death sentences and etc. I don’t blame all Catholics for that, not at all, but why accuse the Protestants of hatred? We were the ones being burned at the stake.
