Was Joan the First Protestant?
IN GOD'S NAME NO!
By Virginia Frohlick
Back in December of 2002, I wrote an article by the name of Saint Joan -The First Protestant?
http://www.stjoan-center.com/topics/Wycliff.html
In this article I did my best to explain why I felt Joan was NOT a Protestant. What I got for my efforts were nasty complaints from Protestants who said that I had only succeed in creating a 'STRAW MAN' and that my arguments did not hold water.
Well seeing that I am no theologian and not even a historian for that matter, I had to let their complaints lie.
That is until just recently when God allowed a wonderful book to come into my possession.
Saving Angel: The Truth About Joan of Arc and The Church
.Written by T. Lawrason Riggs
The information contained within this book is too important (on the subject of Joan's submission and faithfulness to the One Holy and Catholic Church) to be left unknown and unread.
This book was written in response to what Bernard Shaw said in the very first paragraph of his play's preface: "Though a professed and most pious Catholic, and the projector of a Crusade against the Husites, she was in fact one of the first Protestant martyrs."
