I mean, the Jesuits did confess that 'the reading of the holy scripture is the origin of heresy' and a 'dead letter' until 'it is explained by the supreme Pontiff' and 'heretics' who read scripture without the blessing of the Pope are 'to be burnt' and 'delivered body and soul to hell."

Too late. His reputation around the world is not a good one. He is an embarrassment and this is why we never hear anything about him since he died. Even Hollywood refused to have anything to do with making a movie about him. His family and church did everything to find a movie producer to take it on but it all came to nothing. Truly good and respectable people have wanted nothing to do with him and dissociate themselves from him. Let's be honest, everything about Northern Ireland Protestantism is seen as odd, bizarre and deeply embarrassing. Compare his funeral attended by no public figures with the funeral of Martin McGuinness attended by numerous public figures including a graveside oration by an American President. Says it all really about the universal view of Northern Ireland Protestants. Hatred just does not travel well.

As one raised in one of the Presbyterian Churches, I was a little surprised to discover that the famous Rev. Paisley also claims to be of that denomination.
