If you don't follow Rome, fine, your more than entitled. I wouldn't try to change you, to the believer, .
How do you view Martin Luther and the reformation? More so, the puritans who made the pilgrimage to this country who came with the Geneva Bible which was disliked by the King at the time. Some even had the Tyndale Bible or that which he finished-NT before being executed for doing so. If I understand: neither were government approved.

I offer no criticism. Just interested to know how a catholic such as yourself views the first settlers of this land that didn't use the catholic bible, Just curious-- considering that you come across as an American Patriot, proud of your country- and rightfully so.
At the time of the reformation there is no doubt the church needed it. However, there was a movement within the church to do so. Martin Luther was a Catholic priest who chose to take a wife. Luther had some legitimate gripes. I look at the pilgrims who came here as brave sons of guns. Damn, that long boat ride with so little knowledge of the new world. I don't know if I could do it. They were driven by desire to spread their faith. Very very fascinating people.

And beanz, I saw no systems of belief that I or Andre loquated that might be taken as dangerous.
