Everytime I'm blown away at the extreme difference in quality between the two, and I don't even have a dog in the race

I don't know, the mean quality of Catholics is much higher than that of Protestants, just in terms of general theological knowledge and not constantly contradicting themselves. I've heard Protestants saying really ignorant shit in a way that Catholics simply don't

Every prediction they made a out the dissemination of literacy was vindicated in the end. Just look at all the heresies that have been revived by ignorant protestants, all of the personality cults and cynical hucksters. The vast majority of people don't have the moral fortitude to responsibly use literacy

>Because the protestant heretical religion warped their understanding of good and evil.
This is very true. They are just like the antivaxxer parents, except instead of polio or whatever they bring back 3rd century heresies: arianism, gnosticism et cetera. People actually have a very hard time figuring things out for themselves. Luther spoke of the the priesthood of the laity, but the existence of 30,000+ Protestant denominations proves that they don't agree with themselves on anything, which you would think that being united in faith by the Holy Spirit would prevent.

I'm beginning to think that it might be best for the average, normal folk to be some form of religious. Maybe not the managerial classes, but definitely the middle and lower classes. Things just work better that way and people are much happier in close knit communities than alienated gesselschaft societies. I'm increasingly sympathetic to the plight of Dostoyevsky's "Grand Inquisitor"

Unironically, which sect equates Mary with God?

What do you mean by reactionary? Do you mean modern 'Deus Vult' bullshit or just all polemics? I'm assuming the former since Kierkegaard could probably be considered reactionary.

Anyway here's a few good Catholic authors that are not included in your list that you might enjoy: Merton, Henry Newman and Chesterton. Bentley Hart and Richard Swinburne are modern authors that are good but you might find a bit reactionary depending on what you mean.
