"Revisionist history"?

From the person who just cited St. Thomas More's "Utopia" (a work of satire AGAINST socialism) and "The Three Musketeers" (a fictional book with a negative portrayal of a cardinal who was good) as works proving that he opposes such?

Huh?

The Roman Catholic Church always viewed themselves as creating a nation church on earth to which all nations would be subservient. Thomas More’s Utopia is about such an idea society. That is historical fact. The Reformation was fueled, in part, by some nations rejecting paying tribute to the Roman Catholics and falling under the rule of the “Holy See”.

But, nice try.
