The Protestant Reformers may have been revolutionaries, but their revolution was extremist, not unlike that of the Taliban.

Outside that line, is there anything that is inaccurate?

The whole article is Catholic revisionism. The Nazis try to deny the Holocost. Turkey denies the Death march. It's not surprising to see Catholics rewrite the Inquisition.

Seems to be a pretty one sided picture...I see no mention of Catholics burning Protestants at the stake, cutting the stomachs of pregnant Protestant women and ripping out the babies while the mother was still alive, by the thousands, etc...

As I understand it, the violent actions of the Protestants was in response to the murderous, heineous crimes perpetrated by the Catholics in England and throughout Europe AND in the period known as the dark ages; 500-1500 A.D. where the Catholic church murdered anything that moved that wouldn't bow down to the pope...

And, as I understand it, the Catholic church has for centuries claimed anyone outside the church to be anathema and worthy of death (council of Trent (?)), and although not discussed in public, that accusation is still valid today...
