PROTESTANT REFORMERS IDENTIFY THE PAPACY AS THE ANTICHRIST
"Wycliffe, Tyndale, Luther, Calvin, Cranmer; in the seventeenth century, Bunyan, the translators of the King James Bible and the men who published the Westminster and Baptist confessions of Faith; Sir Isaac Newton... Whitefield, Jonathan Edwards; and more recently Charles Spurgeon, J.C. Ryle and Dr. Martin Lloyd-Jones; these men among countless others, all saw the office of the Papacy as the antichrist." - Michael de Semlyen, "All Roads Lead to Rome," p. 205, 1991.
For example, William Tyndale, in "The Practice of Prelates" and in the Preface to the 1534 edition of the New Testament identified the Papacy as Antichrist. For this, and other reasons, he was condemned by the Papal Antichrist, strangled, and burned at the stake.
"The Counter Reformation is generally considered to have three aspects: the Jesuits, the Inquisition, and the Council of Trent. In view of the significance of the Protestant apocalyptic interpretation of history which prophetically pinpointed step by step the events covering the whole Christian era from the beginning to the end (i.e. Historicism-ed.), it seems justifiable to suggest a fourth aspect, namely the preteristic (Preterism-ed.) and futuristic (Futurism-ed.) interpretations launched by Catholic expositors as a counterattack." - Kevin Reed, from his book review titled "The Ecclesiology of John Foxe: A book review" by Kevin Reed of "John Foxe and the Elizabethan Church" by V. Norskov Olsen, 1973, citing Olsen on page 47.
