I guess you can call me a bigot but not a liar. We do know for a fact Martin Luther tore apart the Catholic church (never to be the same again) because of corruption. Remember that little detail of having to pay for indulgences? It helped start the Reformation.

In fact, I think Time named Martin Luther the Person of the Millennium - the most consequential person of the last 1,000 years...wow. Have you read how Martin Luther had to flee for his life in fear of the Church?

These are facts, not beliefs.

It is one thing to stand by your church and admit that it has short comings, issues, problems and corruption - after all it is run by mere mortals, but another to pretend it is perfect.

Hey, Protestant churches aren't perfect and I don't have that expectation because mere mortals aren't perfect. But that doesn't mean I quit being a Protestant because those denominations have issues and problems.

I do respect you being a Catholic, but don't pretend it is perfect, because it is not - far from it.
