I find it incredibly ironic that you would trot out reformers as though Biblical Christians would believe that they were "infallible" or something?
How come you site their views when it serves your purposes, yet cry anathema about them at other times?

Because Roman Catholics have an entirely different understanding of heroes of the faith than we do. They see them to be venerated. We see them to be studied.

At the same time, I've asked any Catholic to give me an entire article devoted to Mary by any of the Reformers, and I'm still waiting. All they can find is a few quotes.

In sum, those issues were peripheral for the reformers. Crucial, central issues were justification, salvation, sanctification, predestination, etc.
