Silly argument. The only way all Protestants are related is their universal rejection of the One, True Church. Thus the name “protestant”.
“Silly argument.”
Nope. What I said was perfectly true. Go back and look at the earlier post:
“What will be interesting to see is how the Protestant anti-Catholic “Pope-will-create-false-world-religion-to-oppose-Christ” crowd here at FR will receive the news that Pope Francis gets on so well with bona fide, rock solid, evangelicals like the Waldensians.”
See that? See how I CLEARLY posted a comment about “how the Protestant anyi-Catholic...crowd...will receive the news”? See that? Clearly my comment was about how Protestants will view this news about other UNDENIABLE Protestants are friendly with Pope Francis. Thus, my argument is not silly at all.
“The only way all Protestants are related is their universal rejection of the One, True Church. Thus the name “protestant”.”
Wait a minute. You apparently do not understand the origins of the word “Protestant” - which would not surprise me. You point is well taken, however - that “Protestants are related in their universal rejection” of the Church BUT THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT I WAS POINTING OUT FROM IN MENTIONING THAT “how the Protestant anti-Catholic ...crowd ... receive the news that Pope Francis gets on so well with bona fide, rock solid, evangelicals like the Waldensians.”
Thus, again, you have proved my point. You work for me.
With such great leaders as...
Pope Stephen VI (896–897), who had his predecessor Pope Formosus exhumed, tried, de-fingered, briefly reburied, and thrown in the Tiber.[1]
Pope John XII (955–964), who gave land to a mistress, murdered several people, and was killed by a man who caught him in bed with his wife.
Pope Benedict IX (1032–1044, 1045, 1047–1048), who "sold" the Papacy
Pope Boniface VIII (1294–1303), who is lampooned in Dante's Divine Comedy
Pope Urban VI (1378–1389), who complained that he did not hear enough screaming when Cardinals who had conspired against him were tortured.[2]
Pope Alexander VI (1492–1503), a Borgia, who was guilty of nepotism and whose unattended corpse swelled until it could barely fit in a coffin.[3]
Pope Leo X (1513–1521), a spendthrift member of the Medici family who once spent 1/7 of his predecessors' reserves on a single ceremony[4]
Pope Clement VII (1523–1534), also a Medici, whose power-politicking with France, Spain, and Germany got Rome sacked.
You know the Jews thought the same thing and it didn’t work very well for them either.
