All sides did horrific things

At least the Catholics finally backed down in 1834.

Are you really possible to be classified as "a Prot" (your terminology)? Do you believe in the True Presence in the Eucharist as the Lutherans do? Martin Luther too believed it -- he said that Who, but the devil, has granted such license of wresting the words of the holy Scripture? Who ever read in the Scriptures, that my body is the same as the sign of my body? or, that is is the same as it signifies? What language in the world ever spoke so? It is only then the devil, that imposes upon us by these fanatical men. All Lutherans believe in the True Presence - and many Anglicans do as well. Why do you club yourself with them when you disagree on fundamentals?
