But is this problematic for Protestant history apologetics?
You probably read it in Williston Walker's, A History of the Christian Church, and it does seem that was the case. He did marry her...

We can all attest to the power of sin in our lives before we are regenerated. Zwingli obviously was typical of the Roman Priests in that day.

Some of us can attest to its power after we were regenerated.
