By Angelo Stagnaro, Crisis Magazine - I forgive Protestants who refuse to refer to Catholics as “Christians.”.. I also forgive them for intentionally ignoring the 1500 years that occurred prior to Martin Luther when everyone in Western Europe who was a Christian was, by necessity, a Catholic... I forgive Protestants for the ridiculous 700 Club television show and their tiresome attacks on the One, True, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church.
