Which Reminds Me

Why are the Baptists so frantic to associate themselves with the Italian Medici family? Are they anticipating some future news of perhaps a marital alliance of the Medici clan with the royals of England? Wouldn't that just finish the collapse of the Protestant religion? But anyway I wouldn't have any idea of that type of thing. I am nobody important to be talking about these political matters, just a creature of time and circumstance. I don't have any idea of why that would affect my future in any way.
