“After being slaughtered by your peeps and popes, they weee glad for fellowship by the time the Reformation was sweeping Europe. They joined together with like-minded believers.”
No, actually they converted to Calvinism - which was different from what they believed at the time in many ways.
“They still call themselves Waldensians.”
And Methodists. They’re part of the Methodist church so why not? When they’re blessing gay marriages do you think they feel more Methodisty or Waldensiany?
“That they were called heretics by a heretical church didn’t make them heretics.”
Gee, you’re being so harsh to those Calvinists who called them heretics.
“It made them persecuted and slaughtered.”
And their reward for steadfastness in their heresy is gay marriage apparently. Protestantism leads to gay marriage?
