and that it is by God's will that an authority is put in place

YES

the bible is honestly a mess

WANT TO SEE?

divine rule is dumb monarchism yeet

you know what i want?

but that's the difference between protestants and catholics

Divine right of kangz

protestants are like "the bibble is real folks let's follow it to the page"

"1Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. 2Consequently, whoever rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves. 3For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong. Do you want to be free from fear of the one in authority? Then do what is right and you will be commended. 4For the one in authority is God’s servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for rulers do not bear the sword for no reason. They are God’s servants, agents of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer. 5Therefore, it is necessary to submit to the authorities, not only because of possible punishment but also as a matter of conscience."

where the catholic church can actually improve and evolve

Romans 13

also protestant culture is the basis of capitalist culture

read Weber

are you saying

the catholic church is progressive

and the protestant church

Elizabeth II ruling a ML country is like the biggest ouroboros ever

is regressive

or

conservative

not really, Catholic church has roots for socialism

and catholic socialism has a big history behind it

You understand,

why the Protestant reformation occured?

Right?

YOU DO KNOW WHY?

because corruption

in the catholic chuch

EXACTLY

It was due to the Catholics selling Indulgence

talking about the long term dudes

which is wooden tokens,

that reduce your punishment for the sins you commit.

sounds like capitalism

also Luther was all about how charity sucks and poor people should be poor because that's their destiny

more money = less punishment

and he was a major antisemite

Martin Luthar, the father of Protestantism, was a monk in the Catholic Church, and was angered by this. So he posted his 95 thesis on his local church about why he was against Indulgence.
