Is this your best argument against Protestantism?

>>20680154
Sage and not literature related

>>20680173
This, another chirstcuck fatigue thread. Trying to drive normal people away from here.

>>20680169
well yeah. Catholic scholars already said everything that needed to be said (most importantly St Augustine) and perfected the game. protestantism was an infantile reaction to germanoid proto-nationalistic impatience regarding internal reform

>>20680154
>non-Catholics
>post Saint Augustine
Augustine was a proto-Protestant. If you want the real thing, go for the actual Catholic: Aquinas.

>>20680205
modern Catholicism is much more alike Augustine than Aquinas, you know? it's trying to be so frickin cool and trendy and inclusive (but still while hating on homo sex, just so ya know!)

tradcath larping is very immature. the Catholic Church is right there, it will welcome you with open arms

>>20680205
I’m sorry, who cares first?

>>20680210
> the church nerfed itself in Vatican II
This argument is so bad and has no basis. People just repeat this because they heard other people say it. I bet there have been a faction of people after every ecumenical council that bitched and moaned that the most recent ecumenical council nerfed the church.

Yeah Catholicism mogs Protestantism from an aesthetic perspective. Problem is that the majority of people who still believe in Christ are schizos who learnt about Christ through psychic experiences.
The aesthetics of the Papal institution are nothing when contrasted against a schizo individual that speaks to Christ in his mind.

they literally said you don't have to be catholic for salvation, and suddenly everyone who was sick of getting diddled by priests exited the church and never looked back. they blew it big time. also, dropping latin to try to appease some orthodox nationalists who wouldn't think twice to bomb you didn't help either. and you know vatican 3 will be even worse as they adopt woke, lgbt, and dei ideology that's trendy. the catholic church has no spine, they wouldn't even refuse communion to politicians who run an a platform of abortion. evangelicals are the only people with big christ energy, it's just a fact.

>>20680225
I’m a schizo who was talked to by God in Cuba

>>20680154
lol catholicism is all aesthetics. nescitis veritatem.

>>20680868
soul vs soulless

>>20680183
You sound like someone who hates christianity for the wrong reasons.

>>20680183
If only all redditors left

>>20680154
This isn't literature.

>>20680154
>cool lore
is it?
>saints
idols
>and with the lack of intricate theology and intellectuality?
Just flatout not true

Can someone redpill me on Mary Magdalene? I can't believe in the few years I've perused /lit/ I've never seen it memed, mentioned or hinted that she was Jesus' love interest prostitute groupie hoe.

>>20681471
Try r/atheism

>>20680154
>cool lore
My local lore is much more interesting
>saints
Literally goes against monotheism, why not just call yourself a polytheist while you're at it
>intricate theology
Augustine was a guilt obsessed idiot, and Thomism doesn't take into account the survivorship bias

Also, pedos lol

>>20681500

I'm gonna say it

Esotericism is not a good thing

>>20680154
>How do non-Catholics even cope with the lack of cool lore, saints, and with the lack of intricate theology and intellectuality?
Maybe because you're an internet trad-cath who doesn't know that Protestants, especially Lutherans, have all of these things?

>>20680154
kek literally none of that shit matters because the average catholic does not give a single shit about catholic theology or fancy robes and only goes there out of cultural obligation. something like 60% of catholics polled recently said they do not believe in transubstantiation, an absolute cornerstone of catholic teaching, and 98% support fag marriage lol. those collared queers spend all week cooking up a homily but won't even bother to actually educate their congregations because they know if they get too spicy people will leave, plus half of priests are lowkey atheists with their own agendas anyway.

the only people who give a shit about the jewelry and latin and relics these days are fucking nerds. very gay.

Your response is a waste of text, hopefully verification wasn't required. I'm not saying that's the truth, I only came across her and the idea just now, and 4chan being 4chan, I'm surprised nobody brought it up, even ironically.
