you should consider changing your tag line to "revolution fan" because the "reformation " reformed nothing.

you cannot reform from the outside, only those who remain within the group can reform. When you choose to leave the group, you beome a revolutionary.

the protestant revolution was based on those who chose to follow false "prophets" like Luther, Wesley, Calvin Zwingley, Henry VIII, etc.

they were wrong then....they still are.

Obviously I disagree with your position. Otherwise, I would no longer be Protestant.

I haven’t heard of anyone in the Reformation named Zwingley but I do know of one named Zwingli. I’m quite fond of the work of Luther, Calvin and Knox. Not so fond of Henry VIII who I believe would’ve stayed with Rome if they had granted his divorce to Catherine of Aragon. Also, if memory serves me right, Henry VIII opposed Luther as well. Wesley’s theology a bit too Arminian for me.

My fondness for the Reformation has never prevented me from working with Roman Catholic individuals on issues that we share common ground with or from voting for Roman Catholic political candidates who share my views on life, liberty and the natural family.

Pope Stephen VI (896–897), who had his predecessor Pope Formosus exhumed, tried, de-fingered, briefly reburied, and thrown in the Tiber.[1]

Pope John XII (955–964), who gave land to a mistress, murdered several people, and was killed by a man who caught him in bed with his wife.

Pope Benedict IX (1032–1044, 1045, 1047–1048), who "sold" the Papacy

Pope Boniface VIII (1294–1303), who is lampooned in Dante's Divine Comedy

Pope Urban VI (1378–1389), who complained that he did not hear enough screaming when Cardinals who had conspired against him were tortured.[2]

Pope Alexander VI (1492–1503), a Borgia, who was guilty of nepotism and whose unattended corpse swelled until it could barely fit in a coffin.[3]

Pope Leo X (1513–1521), a spendthrift member of the Medici family who once spent 1/7 of his predecessors' reserves on a single ceremony[4]

Pope Clement VII (1523–1534), also a Medici, whose power-politicking with France, Spain, and Germany got Rome sacked.

I guess the COUNTER-Reformation is just a figment of ROME's imagination; eh?
