This Day in Reformation History
Everyone knows about the bulletin board message.Few recall the unfundated mandate.Frankly, the latter had more immediate, profound impact on the Reformation.

Recall that Dave wrote: ***QUOTATION*** Turretinfan” has recently taken to claiming not only that I am not a “real” Catholic (because I don’t answer every question about my faith the way he ignorantly demands that it should be answered), but that I also have supposedly not “apparently” defined the word Christian anywhere. He even uses…
