How Huguenot Protestant Reformers Changed the World: Main Events in the History and Beliefs of Protestantism (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781547287123)

THIS IS THE CONDENCED VERSION- also see the lengthier version titled: "French Huguenot Protestant Reformation Movement: Historical Events and Beliefs of Christian Protestantism" (similar cover and 13,900 words). Most non-Catholic Christians are not aware of the Protestant Reformation Movement of the 16th, 17th, and 18th centuries, without which, we would have no choice even today but to be Catholics. Does this sound strange to you if you're Protestant? That's because many Protestant pastors are not teaching their flocks about this Christian, world-changing event {Pastors may also know little about it their selves}. I honor the right of people in Catholicism to practice their religion because as a USA citizen it is my constitutional duty but Protestants can still strongly disagree with many of their interpretations on doctrines of the Holy Bible. These include paying money to the Catholic church to get loved ones out of "purgatory" - a place in-between Heaven and Hell, praying to Saints and to Mary who we love dearly rather than to the Father through Jesus Christ, belief that with the partaking of communion (Eucharist}, the bread and wine become the literal body and blood of Jesus Christ {Transubstantiation}, etc.... Still, it is our duty to honor their rights of beliefs because we also have those rights as Protestants. We all of course do not have to honor hostile, violent religious movements because this is an abuse of religious rights. Protestantism and Catholicism are not still at war but during the 16th, 17th and part of the 18th centuries there were over 10-million deaths that resulted as a result of the Protestant Reformation Movement. A people called "Huguenots," who were French, protested the coerced enforcement of Catholicism, as did followers of Martin Luther, referred to as Lutherans. My family tree books show that my own ancestors were Huguenot-French Protestants, as does my DNA testing. The National Huguenot Society also lists my ancestor, a man named Johannes Lorentz, who with his wife Anna Margaretha Heiliger, immigrated to Holland and from there, to the USA.
