“I’m always befuddled by Roman Catholic condemnation of Luther’s anti-Semitic views, when he learned them from whom? The Roman Catholic Church.”

I have no doubt that Luther did adopt anti-semitic sentiments to some extent from some of his fellow Catholics when young. The difference is that Jesus was not anti-semitic, and Jesus is our Church’s founder. Luther was the founder of Protestantism. Protestantism was invented by Luther. (No one here is allowed to post where and when he invented one of its central doctrines - and no, I’m not kidding). Luther is the theological father of every Protestant sect in existence - including yours. Thus, whereas our Church’s founder was perfect, the Son of God, your sect’s ultimate father was a demented anti-semite who sure seems like he was mentally unstable.

Our Church came from God Himself. Your sect was founded by an anti-semite. Wear it with pride, RegulatorCountry, wear it with pride.

Your history of Protestantism is very hobbled, stunted and incomplete. You're in no position to speak authoritatively regarding Protestantism. Just because the Roman Catholic Church succeeded in killing off or driving underground others of Protestant belief does not erase their existence from history, much as The Catholic Encyclopedia and apologists such as yourself may try. The Hussites, the Waldenses, it goes back hundreds of years prior to Luther and even then you ignore England and contemporaries to Luther. I'd say try again, but it'll be more of the same, very predictable.

Yet that anti-semite was trained in the Roman Catholic Church. A case of the fruit not falling far from the tree perhaps?

However, we don't see the worship of Mary, the idols of Mary, indulgences, penance, etc in the NT church which are current practices in the RCC.

Worship those idols with pride vlad...worship them with pride.

Who founded the Eastern Orthodox Churches? And are they heretics too?
