In his scathing Satire XII, French poet Nicolas Boileau Despréaux wrote the now famous lines,
"When Luther and Calvin, steeped in your lore,
And self-proclaimed reformers of the Church,
Came to free the priesthood from the vow of celibacy,
And—decrying the austerity of the holiest vows—
Restored liberty to monks weary of the yoke.
Then, rejecting all visible authority,
Each man deemed himself an infallible judge of the faith;
And, without the sanction of the Roman clergy,
Every Protestant became a pope, with a Bible in hand."

In this episode, we ask the question, "Was he right?"
How do resist the hyper fragmentation which has become common among the protestant Church? How and when should we ever divide from Church leadership?
