Books that Refute Protestantism

[Anonymous No.19126200]

The more I think about it, the more Protestantism is responsible for the decline of Christianity, and for the explosion of atheism and secularism in the West. I’ve never even gotten baptized or done the eucharist yet I consider myself Christian, and I follow a 500-year old spin-off of traditional Christianity. Am I going to hell? Books for this please.

Yes, OP. You will go to hell if you don’t get baptized or partake in the sacraments.

Honestly it's just a symptom. The cheaper information gets, the more narratives there are. Protestantism is basically what Jesus would've wanted if everyone could've had the Gospels.

Can you justify that scripturally?

Can you justify your scripture non-circularly without reference to the traditions that compiled it?

1. Read this for starters:
https://www.catholic.com/tract/pillar-of-fire-pillar-of-truth

2. Read the Catechism of the Catholic Church

3. If you're interested in books that specifically refute Protestantism, read:

-Karl Keating, Catholicism and Fundamentalism
-Francis de Sales, The Catholic Controversy (some 72,000 Protestants were converted by this book)*

4. Read Karl Adam, The Belief of Catholics

5. Pray. Ask God for the gift of faith.

6. If particular questions arise, make a post on /lit/ and ask for some good books or other reading materials.

7. Consider talking to a Catholic priest about being received into the Catholic Church.

*One of the most remarkable and well-documented events in Catholic history began when a young priest, St. Francis de Sales, volunteered to re-evangelize the Calvinists of the Chablais.

Finding his preaching forcefully rejected, St. Francis de Sales shrewdly switched tactics and began a written apologetics campaign, posting pamphlets on walls and slipping them beneath doors under the cover of night.

His defense of the Faith was so clear and thorough that at the end of four years nearly the entire population of 72,000 had returned to the Catholic Faith!

For each of those quotes in that pic you can find another where they each said the opposite. That's the beauty of the early church fathers.

You'll want to read Book Four of Institutio Christianae Religionis by St Johannes Calvinus de Geneva.

No way. You'd be very hard-pressed to find any Church Father who denies the Eucharist, without taking their words out of context.

Likewise, Tertullian did not *deny* infant baptism, he merely thought it imprudent.

Who denies the sacrament of confession?

Who among the Fathers denies the perpetual virginity of Mary?

They didn't "deny" it because it wasn't even invented at all until the late 2nd century, and not considered by the church until the 4th.
