And just in case you did not get the memo, the Treaty of Wesphalia ended the Catholic-Protestant wars in 1648 which among its basic points were to allow Catholics where they were the minority and Lutherans and Calvinist where they were the minority to practice their religion in private at will and to be able to attend public worship at set times during the day. The Church of England, for whatever reason, did not sign the Treaty? Of course as the article states, the persecution of Catholics started well before the Fawkes plot, that is, Certain Catholics would not recognize the Church of England and the King as head of the Church. Of course, this is what got THomas Moore, and others, killed over 100 years before setting off a chain of events that continued till the early 1600’s.

So Alex: When are you as the defacto Leader of the FR Calvinist Protestant Brigades here going to call for a declaration of war on the FR Catholics and negate the Treaty of Westphalia?

If so, where shall go to do battle? Somewhere in the middle of the US so we can all get there?

I am sure if a declaration of war by you is called, you and the FR Protestant brigades will honor the just War Principles laid out by the great Catholic Theologians, Saint Augustine and Saint Thomas Aquinas that is, among other things, direct attacks on non combatants is forbidden, prisoners of war will be treated justly, etc, etc.
