James K.A. Smith Quote
This is why Luther and Calvin still understood themselves to be catholics. While they might have been railing against the abuses of Roman Catholicism, they also understood themselves to be heirs of the catholic, universal, orthodox faith. In fact, I think we can best understand the Reformation as an Augustinian renewal movement within the church catholic. So, in a way that might be surprising, to be Reformed is to be catholic.
