With all the X accounts celebrating the Protestant Reformation & how it supposedly โ€œsavedโ€ or โ€œrediscoveredโ€ the Gospel, I figured a look should be given to what it really wrought. There was a significant departure from the early Church, which has only gotten worse.

Itโ€™s rather confusing to me whatโ€™s happening in Poland, but it looks like a coup was attempted. I hope they resolve this without any bloodshed. May St. John Paul II pray for us and his beloved homeland! ๐Ÿ™

For this final post in the series, unless I think of something else, it should be asked: What happened to confession? Christ gave His apostles authority to forgive sins (Jn 20:23). The Fathers testify to priestly reconciliation. Prot Reformers took different paths, save Luther.

I first read this one by @JerusalemJones back in the 90s and it was one of the books that I found helpful in coming to the Church. Others may benefit from it, some may not. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Itโ€™s fun what you can create with Suno! Hereโ€™s a song about the tragic Fall of Jerusalem in 70 AD. suno.com/s/2F5Nojo8W4KUj2V9

Think how you wish about Kennedy the man, the candidate, or even as president. Thatโ€™s all fair game in politics. Anti-Catholic bigotry isnโ€™t & im glad he was able to overcome that.

Trying to set Paul against Jesus is a foolโ€™s errand, Ali. With just the Gospels we can show His divinity and the foundations of the Trinity as defined more fully by the later councils. Paul isnโ€™t the โ€œAnti-Jesusโ€ but instead His servant & his writings complement the Gospels.

Replying to @enesovat22
The Trinity (4th-7th century doctrine) says that the sum of 3 co-equal, co-existent, co-eternal, separate individuals (to avoid modalism) who are all worthy of Worship is 1 (1+1+1=1) Only problem for "Enes Ovat" is: 1- One of these "1s" had partial healing ability which did not work fully the first time (Mark 8:22-25) and relied on sometbing outside his control (Mark 6:5) 3- He declared that the Father-Person is greater than him (John 14:28) 2- He also did not know everything (Mark 13:32) 3- He also declared only one "Person" to be the ONLY true God (17:3) 4- He said he was involuntarily SENT by the Father Person who is greater (John 14:28) than him TWENTY times 5- He also prayed to the Father-Person who sent him THIRTY times 6- There is no evidence from the bible or Jesus that the Son Person sent the Father person, or prayed back to him, in order for them to be equals, and for Jesus, who said they are not equals (John 14:28) to be wrong 7- There is also no room for Jesus to change his mind about this, because the OT says God is not a Son of Man (Which Jesus pbuh called himself) should that he change his mind (Numbers 23:19) 8- The "Hypostatic" language and Greko-Roman Philosophy begotten in the 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th century councils is not present in the bible. The complete opposite is present (As Shown in points above, and will be shown in 50 verses at the end) 9- These "Councils" that created the Trinity for Enes, are Roman Councils. The councils of the Empire that was responsible for surpressing and corrupting Christianity to begin with, for 300+ yrs. 11- Christianity comes from the Anti-Jesus, Paul, see the QT below to see how he was Anti-Jesus and Anti-Disciples 12- For more, Ask and Ye shall recieve. ----------- Verses where Jesus says he was sent by the one true God-Person (The Father), and prays to this God-Person (John 4:34) (John 5:30) (John 5:37) (John 17:3) (John 6:38) (John 6:44) (John 7:16) (John 7:28) (John 8:16) (John 8:42) (John 9:4) (John 12:44) (John 12:49) (John 14:24) (John 15:21) (John 16:5) (John 20:21) (Luke 4:43) (Matt 10:40) (Mk 9:37) (Luke 23:46) (Matthew 27:46) (Mark 15:34) (Luke 23:34) (Luke 22:41โ€“44) (Mark 14:35โ€“39) (Matthew 26:39, 42, 44) (John 17:1โ€“26) (Luke 22:31โ€“32) (Matthew 26:26) (Mark 14:22) (Luke 22:19) (John 12:27โ€“28) ("Father, glorify your name!") (John 11:41โ€“42) (Matthew 15:36) (Mark 8:6) (Matthew 11:25โ€“26) (Luke 10:21) (Matthew 14:19) (Mark 6:41) (Luke 9:16) (John 6:11) (Luke 3:21โ€“22) (Mark 1:35)(Luke 5:16) (Luke 6:12) (Matthew 14:26) (Mark 6:46) (Luke 9:28โ€“29)(Luke 11:1)

Another Catholic defender during the Protestant Reformation era that is sadly little known today. I used copies of his writings at Internet Archive & AI to make this.

I donโ€™t hear this taunt against the Eucharist that often today, but I did when I was younger.

This looks interesting. Itโ€™s an 1820 book by Fr. Demetrius Gallitzin for a Protestant friend. Into the โ€œdefinitely readโ€ stack it goes! archive.org/details/alettertโ€ฆ

Aaagh! I really liked him as an actor. He rivaled @WilliamShatner as captain of the Enterprise on Star Trek. From I, Claudius, to Excalibur, to Star Trek, to X-Men, etc. I enjoyed so many of his shows. May God have mercy on his soul & grant him eternal rest. ๐Ÿ™

Interesting look at the Vatican Grottoes, which contain much of Catholic history.

Did Trent add books to the Bible or did the Protestant Reformation change the status of books Christians had received for centuries? This part traces the deuterocanonical books from early Christian use through councils, Lutherโ€™s Bible, and later Protestant exclusions.
