The Protestants have rewritten history to say that the true church existed before Catholics and these groups quietly existed during Catholic power until they could break away in the 1500s.
I saw another thread that went something like, if the question is, is rain wet and someone answers yes...sure enough...someone will give them a thumbs down.
It shouldn't surprise you. This section is a bit like real life. Some people couldn't handle facts if their very lives depended on it.
Don't let it bother you.
and thanks to him you can put a rubber thing on your john Thomas (well maybe not yours...) and even ask for a french tickler, you could... *into Monty python's meaning of life, the 3rd world*...
I have no idea. Maybe they are just expressing their private contempt for Catholicism. I learned about the Protestant Reformation in history class. From the looks of things back then, it seems to me that the Reformation was inevitable. I know exactly how my church came to be and I don't deny it. People started questioning Catholic doctrine and still do it to this day.
I had an ask er thumb me down then state "You have nothing positive to say" and I used fact, recent fact actually of the sort of kindness that SOME Christians wish to employ. Obviously the ask er didn't want to see that anyone that believes as he does could possibly be anything less than Christ-like.
Showing people fact messes with their world view, or at least what they perceive to be real. People don't like to be told they are wrong. You've just experienced what it's like to get under someones skin. Lil
