How could it not be relevant?

I would say it is not relevant at all.
How does knowing this help one in one's daily walk with Jesus?
Help one be confident in the face of doubts?
Witness to a lapsed Catholic?

If you think it relevant please say how?

Please IDENTIFY THE BEAST before you identify the MARK OF THE BEAST.

The Catholic Counter Reformation - Futurism
The Jesuits were commissioned by the Pope to develop a new interpretation of Scripture that would counteract the Protestant application of the Bible’s prophecies regarding the Antichrist to the Roman Catholic Church. All the reformers’ studies pointed the finger directly at the Roman Catholic Church as the Antichrist power described in Daniel as the “little horn.”
......
Ribera denied the Protestant Scriptural Antichrist (2 Thessalonians 2) as seated in the church of God-asserted by Augustine, Jerome, Luther, and many reformers. He set on an infidel Antichrist, outside the church of God.ii

The result of [Ribera’s] work was a twisting and maligning of prophetic truth.iii

THE ABOVE BOLDING IS WHAT MAKES THIS THREAD RELEVANT.

Why not?

 

[Dave L]

If you believe that you are ignorant.

Why reject it then?

 

[Original Happy Camper]

If you believe that you are ignorant.

What portion of History makes us ignorant

Jesus gave his life that we may live (that is a historical fact), or are you being selective on what parts of history you are referring to.

God raised up the Reformers to reclaim His true Church from spiritual darkness and oppression.

We are all beneficiaries today of their faith, vision, and sacrifice.

That's how it's relevant.

The reformers were men. Men with opinions. Mere mortals. Opinions can be wrong. Men can be wrong. And often are.
