This is an off-the-cuff reaction video to a clip from Fr. Josiah Trenham in which he speaks about Protestant views of church history. I discuss his contention that Protestants all believe in a great apostasy after the life of the apostles with true Christianity recovered at the time of the Reformation. I show why this is not the view of the Lutheran reformers.
