This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

No, but they've redefined terms (you know, like "I believe ... in the Holy
Spirit, the Holy Catholic Church ...") to suit themselves. Too, they
tossed out bits of Scripture that didn't suit them and then set up the
unprecedented principle of "Sola Scriptura."

No: the Protestant "reformation" was a series of heresies.

Luther had a point. There were things that were wrong with the practice
(NOT the theology) of the Roman church. Had he been patient enough
to work within the Roman system, they might have been addressed
much sooner -- some of them were not properly addressed until the
second Vatican council, which might properly be seen as the Church's
response to the legitimate complaints of the Deformers.
