Protestants who make this argument have to understand that this makes Christianity into a joke/false religion because if this assertion was correct then there was no true Christian from the time of the death of the Apostles till whoever founded said Protestant faction. That means Jesus is made into a liar when he said his church would continue unbroken till his return.
Of course to get around this Protestants who make the claim this article does - and not all do so let us be clear - state that the real church was underground for all these centuries until such and such re-founded the original church. That is why they tend to make heroes of Christian heretical movements and see them as proto-Protestants etc - even though doctrinally those earlier heretical movements don't match Protestantism much at all. I probably over simplified the response of mine but I think I got the gist of it out.

I simply don’t have the words.
Well, maybe I do...but it’s not the wisest use of my time at the moment...

I don’t know, Kolo. Isn’t this sort of like laughing at the Special Olympics?
