But will also say the same of the actions of the Reformers? I see you keep dodging the question.
But I can say without a doubt that the Roman Catholic Church is very political. It is ludicrous to suggest otherwise. And I know enough about Martin Luther situation to say that Roman Catholic politics were very much involved in that whole situation..
Just think of it from one simple view. If someone challenges the Roman Catholic Heirachy in a grave way that influences their coffers, their land holdings, etc etc etc...politics will not be involved? It makes no sense from even a simplistic view.
