Quote:
Some individual protestants of varying denominations view the Pope as the Antichrist, or like one. Once a common belief among Protestants and is still part of the confession of faith of some Protestant churches, such as those within Confessional Lutheranism.[8] Some groups like seventh-day Adventists controversially identify the Roman Papacy with the "number of the beast" (666) from the book of Revelation, and believe that the phrase Vicarius Filii Dei, reduced to its Roman numerals, sums up to 666, though alternate sums produce 664, depending on whether the IV in Vicarius is taken as a single number or two separate numbers. It must be said that Romans did not write vertically but horizontally. To produce 664, the sum works as follows: VICARIVS FILII DEI = 5+1+100+4+1+50+1+1+500+1 = 664, where 'U' is taken as 'V' (two forms of 'v' developed in Latin, which were both used for its ancestor 'u' and modern 'v'). To produce 666, the sum works as follows: VICARIVS FILII DEI = 5+1+100+1+5+1+50+1+1+500+1 = 666.

Which has fuck all to do with the Reformation. Usually, this is the point at which I say 'Nice try', but your trotting out VFD wasn't even that. If you want an honest go at this, trying linking to the 95 Theses or the Wars of Religion, instead of this ham handed attempt which is so far from the topic that the LIGHT from the topic won't reach it for 100 000 years.

feep.

Your right, it has nothing to do with the reformation.
I stated that

Even they had the good sense to see that Catholicism was evil.

It doesn't get much more "evil" than Antichrist.

You're the one that stated..

Actually, the Reformation kicked off not because people felt the Church was 'evil' per se, but that it was corrupt.

You're the one that brought up the Reformation.

And to be clear, the point I was making was how much the Catholics and Protestants differ from each other.
