If people want a version of Christianity without theology, philosophy, and culture (aka without Catholicism), why don't they just kill themselves instead of making the world a worse place?
Not trying to to flame, just an honest question desu senpai

Is that an answer? It doesn't sound like a very good one. I can see Catholics are by far the largest percentage of Christians, whereas the rest are mere statistical anomalies: Only a dumb retard man would be Protestantism given that there's literally not a single good argument for being one.
protestantism worked pretty well in the UK m8.. socially, protestantism was the best religion ever, look at all the protestant countries before they lost their religion, great family values, hard working but also clean and efficient and very powerful and rich
catholicism seems to have a bit more longevity but protestantism resulted in much less corruption and lawlessness
If it wasn't for the 1st WW and the resulting deconstruction of the church in the west then protestantism may still be going strong
Look at what happened as soon as it fell apart, at least in the UK, socially we began to devolve from a family focussed moral country to a swinging 60's, drug fuelled 70's, rioting 80's, materialistic 90's, multicultural 00's and now a culture-less 10's

Protestantism is single handedly responsible for:
>gay marriage
>women "priests"
>encouraging divorce
>low birthrates
>multiculturalism
So no I wouldn't say it worked well by any stretch. Moreover, all of these "reforms" just kills off Christian communities, as is evidenced in the UK. Meanwhile, Catholicism is still going strong.

>Catholicism is still going strong
No, I literally just got back from church and half of the parish is over 50. That isn't going strong, that's "going to be dead in 2 or 3 more generations". But, I think protestants have it worse. The Methodist Church in town has like half a dozen members, all over 70. They worship in a humble chapel infested with mildew and more bats than their entire congregation. I give it 10 years before we don't even have a Methodist church anymore.

Catholicism is heathenism passing as Christianity. The wolf in sheep's clothing.
The fact that the Medicis and Borgias became popes is pretty firm evidence that the pope is not a man of god.
The fact that you used the Donations of Constantine for 700 years, knowing they were a forgery, proves you have no concept of truth.
You're nothing but a remnant of the Roman Empire.

>>55812450
Luther was based and so were his followers
>>55813700
You think fucking protestantism is responsible for all that shit? Protestantism is nearly 500 years old and none of those things are a) a correlation or b) caused by it
>gay marriage
directly against protestantism, literally nothing to add here, it came long after the destruction of protestantism, which is neither practised in modern day US or UK, it's a completely different religion because of what happened to it over the last 100 years
>women priests
again, not responsible at all for that, it's the atheistic modern day doo-gooders who are responsible, although I really don't see anything wrong with women priests
>encouraging divorce
that's why divorce rates were so high in protestant countries up until protestantism was wiped from them right? these arguments are not only wrong but the complete opposite of what is true
>low birth rates
a good thing, not negative birthrates, but lower birth rates, around the +/- mark are the most sustainable and economic (unless you want a huge elderly population or huge young population making a country much poorer and less capable)
>multiculture
absolutely nothing to do with protestantism, a result of marxism
the reason protestantism died early on in the 20th century is because the church backed WW1, everybody saw WW1 for what it was, a pointless tragedy and possibly the worst thing that has ever happened to modern humanity (since WW2 was just the second half and a complete result of WW1, all those wars against communism, all the middle east, all of it can be traced directly back to WW1) the people in europe especially became totally disillusioned with the church at this point, this was accelerated by the fact the humans were beginning to become more in control of what surrounded us due to science, medicine and technology improving, which made people believe god had less and less power over us resulting in the destruction of protestantism in the west

Why does the pope love muslims? Why do you worship him, hes just a weird old man in a dress and jew hat.
Why do you need another man in a dress to direct your relationship with your imaginary jew friend in the sky?

HAHAHAHAHAHA
>he didn't provide a single source
Or are your feelings a source?
>>55813700
None of those were a thing here until it was pushed on us from the West, mainly America.
>>55814799
The largest single religious group in this country is Catholics, and that number is rising. Tick tock mother licker
>>55814744
>Merkel is a Lutheran
No she isn't. First of all, she's was in Socialist youth groups. Also even if we take her at her word, she's "Evangelisch" which is a shitty mixture of Calvinism and Lutheranism forced into the same church body by the Hohenzollerns because they were Calvinists who couldn't handle that most of the people in their lands were Lutherans.
catholics are keks regarding thology, protestants are more of a keeping it real sort

>didn't argue against a single point in my comment
the burden of proof wasn't with me anyway, you stated a load of points without proof and I explained how they're wrong, if you still think they're right then provide sources mate
>catholics this obsessed with protestantism
stay mad
Christians have the highest birth rates in this country, and I'm guessing also the lowest divorce rates and lowest multiculti in their social circle. It's true some of them do adopt nigger children though, but that's quite rare and applies to all Western Christians.

Who is the pope to second Guess St. Paul?
St. Paul condemns faggots and explicitly says that bishops should be married to women.
>>55812450
This is the exact reason I converted away from Protestantism. They're so far removed from original Christianity it hurts.
I wouldn't go as far as to say that aren't Christians at all (although certain denominations decidedly aren't).
>>55812450
If you're asking WHY it was formed, then the answer is "Politics".
Back in the day the Papacy was a massive powerhouse, with authority reaching from England, down through Spain and Italy, and throughout Europe. What the Papacy said went.
The Papacy authorized wars, gave the go ahead for invasions, and had the power to throw you out of civilized society. So if random king Buttfuck the Third pissed off the church too much he'd be declared a Heretic.
These days that's no big deal, because no one gives a fuck what some old shit thinks, but back then it meant that you were outside of all religious laws and therefore were open season. All your neighbors had free reign to wage wars of conquest and seize your lands which they would do at first opportunity because back then wars were thought of as the natural order of things instead of the clusterfuck nightmare it is now.
So the Protestant church was formed by people who did not want to be held ransom to a foreign powerhouse that changed murder based on violence, bribes, threats, assassination, and where office was given out in exchange for favors, gold, or because you were related to the Pope.
If Protestantism is so good, how come they're unabashed pedophiles? How come Catholic priests are actually the safest adults to be around?

The bishop of Rome isn't any more infallible than any man. But I see what he was trying to do
>Blessed are the peacemakers; for they shall be call the children of God
The only problem is you can't make peace with a religion created by a warlord that actively supports violence and armed bullying

>The bishop of Rome isn't any more infallible than any man. But I see what he was trying to do

I wasnt aiming on that, but on catholics compared to protestants being extremly prone to compomise with theology, you can see that in creationism vs. evolitionsm, one way too God vs. many ways,...
