However, that is not the underlying theme of the article nor is it "Catholic bashing" as you would say. It is simply, as stated, a historical example of courage. I don't believe this is a religious argument nor was the writing intended to be. If it was perceived that way, you have my sincerest apologies, but I will write what is historically based unapologetically.

This writing is about "the states," and I used that as an example of "great courage." I would be more than happy to discuss the theological discrepancies during that time period and the history of the church via email.

Your BIAS is showing . . . you Protest-Ants need to rethink your agenda. Once I read to the Catholic Bashing, I quit reading.

You lost me and I hope many other educated people. When you use inflammatory speech to incite support of your topic, you are doing just what Liberals do . . . trying to persuade people using FEELINGS instead of Facts and Logic.

The FACTS about Martin Luther can be read here: http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/09438b.htm
He was not the 'mr wonderful' that protestants make him out to be. [And I converted from a life of Lutheranism to Roman Catholicism at age 48 after I studied the Early Church Fathers and did research on The Church that began with the Apostles. Using facts and logic, I realized the many errors in protestantism.]

I am disappointed in this website for promoting Catholic Bashing and using a man who made a vow to God similar to Jephthah's with far reaching effects on humanity and Christendom. Luther's supporters were German princes who didn't want to tithe to The Church. Promoting 'his beliefs' [actually their beliefs] was based on their pocketbooks and bank accounts and not on their theological convictions.

Emotionally abusing Catholics is no way to promote the 10th Amendment agenda!
