I think we already know how you would vote, no matter how I reply. But I will say that unless we look at the lives and doings of a number of the Reformers instead of Luther, Luther, and Luther, it is not reasonable to take a position with regard to the many Protestant reformers."What they did" was fracture the unity of the Body of Christ. So forgive me if I don't vote for that.

Besides, your perspective is terribly narrow. John Wesley, for instance, was by the standard that you are using for St. Francis a great reformer. And he was a Protestant. But he didn't fracture the church.
Sure, but who started the Protestant Reformation and how did that work out was not the topic of this thread.Why do you say that? I'm not an unreasonable person. And I am a Protestant. I do look at the lives of the Reformers. I'm not dismissing them all. As I said, I really like William Tyndale, and there are others. But as far as the start of the Reformation, Luther's actions and personality, I don't care for that. Luther lit the powder keg that blew up Europe and the Western Church.

Either way, the vote has to go to the Protestant reformers if we think of what they did and compare that with the record of such as the Catholic figures you named.

They all played their part in calling for reform and a return to the doctrine of Christ. But here are some of them.Who were the greatest?
