That was sort of my point. I only said those things because of the accusations of "bigotry" that have been flying as thickly as at an Al Sharpton speech.
Since Catholicism had a fifteen hundred year head start in "intolerance" and "bigotry," don't you think that attacks on "Protestant bigots" are a wrong-headed response to questions or criticisms of the Catholic Church?
I think it is foolish to judge Sixteenth century politics by modern standards. I believe that there is more than enough blame to go around for the bloodshed that resulted from the Protestant Reformation.
