Wrong.... The Baptist church was never part of the RCC. Ever here the phrase Ana Baptist. Those were the ones who were sewn asunder, fillet alive, burned at the steak, beheaded, disemboweled, all because they did not believe in infant baptisim.

To that old Bull I'll never bow. Christ, and Christ alone is my Saviour, and to Him alone shall I bow.

The Anabaptists were a radical group of Reformers who, of all of them, threw out the most truths of the Christian religion, denying that infants ought to be baptized and putting out all sorts of wacky anti-scriptural ideas: Anabaptists:
A violent and extremely radical body of ecclesiastico-civil reformers which first made its appearance in 1521 at Zwickau, in the present kingdom of Saxony, and still exists in milder forms.

The Baptists are actually derived from the 16th-17th century English Puritan tradition however, not the Anabaptists.

The first "Baptist" Congregation was formed in London, England in 1617. Anabaptists were not the same thing.
