My 2 cents worth
faith writes:
You are incredibly naive if you think the fact that all those nations were CATHOLIC and all their rulers CATHOLIC who had all been officially CROWNED by the Popes and confessed their sins to Catholic Priests were not under the Popes. Of COURSE there were conflicts, so WHAT? And you're even more naive if you think Rome has quietly accepted the loss of all those Catholic nations to the Protestant Reformation, or that the Third Reich was not an attempt to put Europe under the Pope again, or that the European Union doesn't have papal delegates working hard to bring Europe under the Pope by THAT means even now.

It's called historical revisionism for a REASON, look it up.

Luther was Anisemetic - Get Over It
Faith writes:
Luther was no anti-semite.
Maybe not to start, but he sure became an antisemite.
From Martin Luther and antisemitism
quote:
n 1543 Luther published On the Jews and Their Lies in which he says that the Jews are a "base, whoring people, that is, no people of God, and their boast of lineage, circumcision, and law must be accounted as filth."[13] They are full of the "devil's feces ... which they wallow in like swine."[14] The synagogue was a "defiled bride, yes, an incorrigible whore and an evil slut ..."[15] He argues that their synagogues and schools be set on fire, their prayer books destroyed, rabbis forbidden to preach, homes razed, and property and money confiscated. They should be shown no mercy or kindness,[16] afforded no legal protection,[17] and these "poisonous envenomed worms" should be drafted into forced labor or expelled for all time.[18] He also seems to advocate their murder, writing "[w]e are at fault in not slaying them".[19]
Did you know Shirer claims Luther was one of the four primary influences on Hitler?
But what would a world famous historian and, at the time, Berlin-based journalist know about Hitler?

All I'm ignorant of is your weird way of representing the incidents in scripture. "Altered the Eucharist beyond recognition" is meaningless to me. For one thing the word Eucharist means nothing to me, I have to think twice to even know you could possibly be referring to something in scripture.
The rest of your list is equally offensively and obscurely worded and I have no motivation to look them up to find out what on esrth you mean by some of it.
Upon reading this astonishing pean to a form of willfull ignorance and self-love I have never witnessed outside of the throes of latter-stage drug addiction or severe mental illness, along with perhaps the greatest takedown I have ever seen in this forum in the reply by Archer, I have but one word to describe any further desire on my part to reply to your astonishing lack of knowledge or even curiosity in your own professed beliefs and ignorant and psychologically questionable delusions concerning reality:
NEVERMORE
To quote the great RAZD - enjoy!
