I've noticed there are a lot of Roman Catholics on this board. Have you ever read the writings of the Reformers?

No.

Books from Protestant authors? Yes. I enjoyed reading Soren Kierkegaard’s books and Lee Strobel’s The Case for Christ.

What he writes is beautiful. That should be enough but if not he is unlike any other Christian writer and I believe his view on aesthetics and beauty are very important. Or things like his treatise on relics; all of this is greatly neglected in favor of his 'inflammatory' doctrines on sin or supralapsarianism (which is also misunderstood by people who have never read Calvin).

Honestly I'll say this as someone born in to Catholicism, do you actually care about this? The Catholic Church has so many problems right now this is at the bottom of my list — I know a lot of them do just pick it up for political reasons as so many did in history, but I genuinely do wish some of them eventually do find actual firm faith in it.

Meanwhile you just post memes wanting to 'own' them to feel more smug.

I hate to say it, but honestly this. I see the root of most problems today coming from the Church's failures in the pre-renaissance area for unfucking themselves before it was too late and the giga retardation of having everyone be their own Pope happened.

If I wanted to read more on other Christian Sects, I would probably look into Eastern Orthodox and other sects with some real time (more than a few 400 years anyway) behind them.
