An article purporting to view Oliver Cromwell positively is no more “anti-Catholic” than an article purporting to view President Andrew Jackson positively would be anti-Cherokee.

Nice try. But no.

I read the article at the link. It was interesting. But I also noted what Alex chose to highlight:

"....Cromwell was not merely exceptionally religious. He belonged to a particular religious group — the Puritans — who believed that the frivolous Charles I, with his stubborn faith in the Divine Right of Kings and his fondness for elaborate Catholic-style church ceremonies, was betraying the Protestant Reformation."

New year, same old Know Nothings.
