Geoff, globally there are an equal amount of Roman Catholics (the proper term) as Protestants — both in the hundreds of millions. But the real significance of the Reformation is in the recovery of a biblical gospel.
He was a Puritan pastor, one of those bold, biblical folks living out their Christian faith in a broken world (in the 1600's). His love for and knowledge of the Bible is seen in his sermons and his books (22 volumes of published materials). His three volumes on PSALM 119 [available from the BANNER OF TRUTH TRUST link above] are among my favorites.
Great picture. Man, that was a big piece of paper he nailed up there ;-)
I would like to inform you as Aug.14,2010 there are 8.7 mil Lutherans and conversely there are 57.2 mil Catholics
