"was also a Protestant..before their even were such things..."Well, only if we insist on using that label. Those who have continued to be labeled "Protest-ants" after the Reformation were actually called "Christians" in the first century but, I can assure you, Christians who worshipped God through His teachings alone certainly *did* exist and have (obviously) existed since Christ walked the earth. In fact, most of the earliest Christians often referred to themselves as Jews. It was Romanism that developed later.
But we must remember that those who were origianally labeled "Protestants" in the 1500s were specifically those who were *in* the Roman system when her heresies were exposed, and then "protested" the system from which they fled in order to restore themselves to a pure Christianity that was closer to that which was practiced in the first century.

The point being Colson never passes up the opportunity to slight Catholics. You are mistaken or lying. Back up your charge.

Actually I am curious about the British Isles in general. Why is their food so unbelievably horrible? I mean it isn't that tough to cook up some food with even a modest amount of taste but they go out of their way to make HORRIBLE food. Why? beats the heck out of me! I'm mostly scottish and the idea of haggis makes me turn green.
It's interesting how cuisines and other customs develeop. I'm told, for instance, that the reason French cuisine has so many sauces is because of shortages of salt and other meat preservatives. During these shortages, if you wanted to serve your guests meat, you had to have a thick sauce to cover up the gamey taste.

So, I take it this is a picture of your current position?
