Yet another Protestant bashing article?

It seems to some here, that is perfectly acceptable to bash "Protestants" with the Reformation and all that it is accused of bringing with it (much is just pure hyperbolic propaganda, but it doesn't matter to them). But, when the behavior of the Roman Catholic Church is brought up as one of the major impetuses to the Reformation, we are brushed off with words like:

That history is ancient. So some corrupt people were selling indulgences. There were bad popes, blah blah blah. Big deal. What's the difference between a protestant today whining about the selling of indulgences in the 16th century and Muslims today bemoaning the Crusades? Nothing. Am I supposed to share in some guilt over all of it? I think not. Besides I thought we rejected the notion of collective guilt anyway as a device used by the left.

Ironical, isn't it? ☺
