@Deleted User That manual actually has a sequel, is titled "how to survive the marriage with a Finnish girl".

>Actually thinking Catholicism was good.

Never forgetti the Transsupposition spaghetti...

Also, the Catholic Church was corrupt and morally bankrupt, losing all touch with the basic ideals of Christianity. Martin Luther made that clear and initially wanted to bring reform within the church, but the Papacy wouldn’t have it. As a result, Protestantism came about.

Also, #Russiaistoblameforthegreatwar. Russia had the choice to not get involved in the war between Serbia and Austria-Hungary, but they did, which prompted the Germans to come in to the defense of their ally. They would have never started the war if it weren’t for the Russians.

Protestantism came about because Martin Luther wanted to change the Bible. His own admission. And thus he is indirectly responsible for both world wars, the loss of European empires, the resulting genocides of those wars, the wars in Asia and Africa and the resulting genocides there, and civil strife in Europe to this day.

No, it came about because the Catholic Church were idiots.

“What are you going to do, Martin? Cry about it to the rest of Europe?” - Famous last words of the Catholic Church

What are you going to do? Go fuck some fat girl in a furry suit in a closet at your shit security job?

Meanwhile Europe is dying under the rubble of Lutheranism and the largest, and in fact only growing denomination of Christianity is the Catholic Church. All others are shrinking.

Especially in the South, where the Church continues to enjoy unprecedented growth in converts while the Protestant heretics are staying home to jerk off to furry porn.

Ragnarok there are many protestants in all across America that aren't bad.

Anyway

We should be worrying about muslim majority cities in michigan

@Deleted User

Integra Hellsing is Protestant.

But she also keeps a vampire as a slave

Besides

Ethnic Germans conquered Britain, hence most are anglo saxon

Britain was the greatest empire of all time

And anglo saxons - ethnic germans - ruled it.

Germans went to war with each other

If you blame anyone

Blame europeans as a whole for their wars

We killed ourselves, allowing arabics into our lands for them to inherit.

This is where the whites should feel guilty if at all -- allowing this shit to happen, for killing each other.

@Iakovos I know man, most of my family are Protestants, I was just shitposting the furfag

Protestantism came about because Martin Luther made some good points and the church punished him for daring to challenge their authority, which prompted wide-spread support across much of Northern Europe for Martin Luther.

To put it lightly, he was condemned because much of what he said was right and the church feared that fact, so they wanted to shut him down only, in the end of the day, to boost his popularity even further.

^^^^

No one can argue agaisnt the fact that the Church was rotten to its core

Nor can you argue against the fact that Martin Luther had many valid criticisms and did honestly want reform within the church, but they wouldn’t listen and so he took his criticisms directly to the public.

@Iakovos I agree. The only guilt whites should take was to allow waves of refugees who clearly don't want to respect the sovereignty of the nations they flood into.

Most importantly they shouldn't have let cultural Marxism and progressivism breed faster than a Catholic rabbit. (((Avengers Reference)))

Because then it came to my country. We had a communist uprising during the Cold War within the country and we constantly fend off,"all hindoos bad muslim man gud" everyday.

I mean, it's the same crap everywhere. In America the progressives divided white vs black. In Europe they divided ethnic vs immigrant (Especially registered immigrants). In India it's Hindu vs Muslim.

He didn't want reform, he wanted his own church. It's like saying Stalin just wanted to make things better for the worker. Even if a broken clock is right twice a day, it's still a broken clock

No, he wanted reform, but the Church couldn’t handle an opinion and so he took his complaints to the public.

So, he created his own church and threw out all of the stuff that made little sense.

Agree

He did not attempt any reform from within but once he showed his ass he also disparaged James and Revelation

Yet he still kept tons of Catholic traditions that Protestants hate

Um... most of those changes came after the fact after the Church decided to not listen to his well-thought out arguments and dismiss them.

So, he took his complaints to the public and became an enemy of the Catholic Church.

All the while, people came to his support after realizing that he had plenty of strong points and argued for a reformed church, which he created in the form of the Lutheran Church.

Additionally, his version of the Bible still did include texts from the Catholic Bible, but in their own section, which was largely due to the texts in question were found among the Greek editions of the texts rather than the Hebrew versions, which can lead to questions about their authenticity/reliability. He did add one word in one section of Romans, but the word “alone” was also added in that section in previous versions of the Bible created during the 1450’s by both the Germans and Italian city-states.

Also, his personal views on the Bible shifted over time where some books he didn’t like he would eventually come around to liking them with time.

He never actually presented his arguments though. And adding to the Bible is still a sin. He had some valid points but not many.

I could get on board with the linguistic origin reliability. At the time, the oldest copies of, say, Maccabees, were in Greek. However, in 1946 some shepherds found a ton of scrolls in a cave that were MUCH older than the oldest known copies of the Greek-language deuterocanon. Those oldass scrolls were in Hebrew.

“He never presented his argument though.”

He did. He sent it directly to his bishop with all of his complaints. Also, what prompted the entire thing was how Albrecht was literally using half of the money from the indulgences being sold to pay off his own debts. We also call that “monetary extortion” now-a-day’s. Additionally, the reason why they were selling indulgences in the first place was to finance the rebuilding of Saint Peter’s Basilica. It wasn’t actually going to charity in the first place, but directly into rebuilding a basilica that most people would never see rather than it going to where it should have gone; the poor and destitute.

The church didn’t approve of him calling them out on their bullshit and decided to excommunicate him, which led to the formation of a new branch of Christianity. Again, Protestantism exists because the Catholic Church shut down the wrong critic.

Saint Peter's Basilica is a pilgrimage site, always has been, and many people in that era would have seen it. They walked there.

To dispute this fact would be historical revisionism and outright lies, since it was in fact the motivation to form several monastic military orders: to protect pilgrims on the road.

Keep in mind the Church clarified shortly after that indulgences were wrong. And under Church doctrine, that rule would be retroactive and timeless.

In other words no declaration of doctrine or dogma by the Church is new or reactive.

Which 99% of Europeans wouldn’t have seen due to this thing called feudalism.

If for example the Church said tomorrow that wearing pink is a sin, that would mean it was always a sin, not just after the declaration

And it still contradicts your point about indulgences existing for charity. I don’t think spending tons of money on a new basilica is actual charity work.

Also, if they wanted to rebuild it, why shouldn’t the pope use his own money to rebuild it? Better yet, why not just ask for money from nobles to help pay for it?

But what really set this all off was how half of the money being collected was going to go right into the Archbishop it Mainz’s own pocket.

Most of the churches in Europe actually were built from the donations of nobility

Feudalism also doesn't in any way prevent a pilgrimage

Feudal peasants had a lot of time off since their main occupation was farming and their military obligations were limited to 40 days per year.

You cannot farm every day.

A lot of "this thing called feudalism" crap is just a myth. Child marriage, illiteracy, contaminated water etc. None of it is true.

Comparatively, to use 15 years of donations to refurbish a holy site is nothing compared to what modern charities do especially Protestant pastors with private jets

Considering hundreds of years of using the money for poor houses, hospitals, military intervention to stop the invasion of Europe, protection of travelers etc

I donate about $100 a month to the mortgage for my parish.

You know most Protestants aren’t a part of massive mega churches, right?

That’s an extreme minority of Protestants and most other Protestants don’t like them due to them being the ones to flaunt off their wealth.

However, you can, at the very least, simply go to another church or denomination if need be if you don’t agree with how the mega church is being run. By contrast, there’s no getting away from the Catholic Church if they make a mistake.

I dont care what you call yourself. Faith in Jesus is all that matters. The dogma of how you choose to worship is secondary

The Church has not made mistakes, it has people who have made mistakes. Every one of them has run contrary to the Church's teachings from the beginning.

The Church does not teach theft, idolatry, pedophilia, racism, rape, genocide, whatever.

Statistically these things are not even significant in the Church

Catholic priests, if you even include known false accusations and unproven accusations, are statistically the LEAST likely to abuse children. Followed by Orthodox, Protestant, Muslim, and lastly atheists.

Within the three closest dioceses to me including the one I'm in, we have never even had one accusation. While we had a huge controversy over a Baptist church and school with multiple proven cases of sexual abuse.

We can also note the disproportionately higher rate of Catholics who serve in the military, police, and fire services.

It may hit closer to home but the bishops of the South also supported the Confederacy's legitimacy, while also preaching against slavery, which you support.

Which the Southern Baptist Convention was founded upon as well.

The poem, Conquered Banner, was written by a Catholic Chaplain in the Confederate States Army.

You're right though, if you don't like what one Protestant Pope says, you can go find a different one, since you have thousands.

About 105,000 Popes in the SBC.

While we, if we are to remain Catholic, absolutely must accept the Church's teachings, especially that homosexuality is sinful, women can't be clerics, chattel slavery is wrong, abortion is wrong etc.

Our main differences are just that we only have one, really big megachurch, bigger than all other churches combined, with one megachurch preacher who does not have a salary, with a ton of other subordinate preachers who don't get paid or make about $8/hr, and we are all listening to the exact same message.

We also have a lower divorce rate and a significantly lower rate of bestiality furfags
