I used to believe I was in the original, true church that had somehow been killed and resurrected over and over, disappearing and reappearing over the ages, and become the American Bible-based, fundamentalist-edged, hard-preaching, devil-decrying, etc, church. Now I understand, that all the Protestant and Western churches that I had belonged to were but steps along the way. But, as this episode tells us, the Reformation, in its its rejection of Roman Catholic tradition, threw the baby out with the bathwater.
