YOU DO NOT NEED A BOOK; I WILL SUMMARIZE IT FOR YOU:

«PROTESTANT» HERETICS: «PROFIT AT ANY COST»; CATHOLICS: «WORK SMART & HARD, BUT SMARTER THAN HARDER, THEN HELP THOSE IN NEED.»

«"PROTESTANT" WORK ETHIC» IS A MISNOMER; AN APT TERM WOULD BE: «"PROTESTANT" BUSINESS AMORALITY».

Protestantism is the real Christianity. The misled souls of the Catholic "church" will not tell you that. Christ in the KJV says to call no Earthly man Father (as in creator) but the Catholics take that and twist it on its head and call their own Pastors "Father". They are also idol worshippers in the image of blessed virgin Mary and the Crucifix and the Saints (most of whom I respect greatly); as well as pagans and angel worshippers.

They are praying through the saints and Mary because they have closer seats to God. Its the same thing as asking your pastor to pray for you. They don't worship the saints.

I was reading about "megachurches" and they look incredibly abominable. I was following a series of criticisms about them until the writer started going on about how they're anti-LGBT and the other usual buzz. But one thing caught my eye: the "prosperity Gospel", a very American idea that if you have faith, God will make you rich. I know it's not necessarily synonym with "protestant work ethic" but are burgers really like this shallow and disgusting? I'm not looking up any videos of this shit but I imagine it's astronomical levels of cringe.

>Catholics-Socialists want to Capitalize the domestic inasmuch as Protestant-Capitalists want to domesticate the Capital, "Protestant work ethic" is only innovative in content: the C-S proudly claims that the P-C is only wrong because he works for himself and the P-C claims that the C-S is only wrong because he works for others. The C-S is as, if not more, morbid than the P-C in worshiping work. Neither inquires about the truth of work and its place in the Phenomenal world. In fact, the C-S is even more choleric than the P-C, his pretension to being a good person revealing itself to be nothing more than bestial obsession with exertion at the slightest critique of work. The C-S implicitly Philosophically conceding to the P-C in claiming the P-C idea fundamentally good, only criticizing it inasmuch as it fails to impose itself onto a minority of people (!): money and material goods toward sensuous pleasures are the highest good, and are only bad inasmuch the people sanctioned by the C-S are not experiencing them. Likewise, the P-C implicitly Philosophically concedes to the C-S in claiming the C-S idea fundamentally good, only criticizing it inasmuch as it fails to embrace a particular kind of servitude: servitude is the highest good, and is only bad inasmuch as it excludes P-C-sanctioned servitude. The reified effects of this convergence are as obvious as they are tragic, people whose whole lives consist of nothing more than work to mitigate the consequences of their lives consisting of nothing more than work and people whose whole lives consist of nothing more than medical treatment to mitigate the consequences of their lives consisting of nothing more than medical treatment; the C-S is, again, at least as, if not more, morbid than the P-C in prescribing people a lifetime of suffering. Per the P-C, you must suffer incidentally, per the C-S, you must suffer. In light of this, the "primitive" or "shallow" Gnostic and Orthodox attitudes toward work are anything but. If you happen to be into Socionics, map the Christian branches onto the quadras for further elaboration: Gnostic-Gamma, Orthodox-Delta, Catholic-Alpha, Protestant-Beta.

The "Protestant work ethic" simply comes from the Reformed belief that you should fulfill well your station in life. If you are, for example, a bank teller, you should strive, as part of your Christian duty, to be a good bank teller, to honor God through honest work and service. Doing this tends to correlate with increased material gain but it is not the goal in any sense.

All I have done is put the question in its proper sphere, the theological. If there is any increased work ethic in Protestantism it comes from the theological point that I mentioned. Do you think that Christians should perform poorly in their station? Should a judge not worry about being a good judge? What do you actually think about the matter?

People hold opinions and viewpoints because they think they are correct. They may not actually be correct, but they think that they are. Your relativist drivel is frankly banal. If someone disagreeing with you is going to send you to the fainting couch then you should perhaps retire from all public discourse.

Say what you want about the merits of Catholicism or Protestantism as the true Christianity, but it's clear today that the Catholic church serves no purpose and the only reason to remain Catholic is because of the "gates of hell" clause that makes you think there's still a point to being Catholic despite the fact that the church goes against most Catholic teachings and is practically undifferentiable from globohomo techno-politics. What's the next thing that Pope Francis will do to destroy the church even further?

[Anonymous No.19337018]

A lot of people ITT seem to be equating Protestant work ethic with Prosperity Gospel (God will make you rich for following X megachurch ministry). I always thought Protestant work ethic was just a sociological term used to describe how much more actively expansionist and colonial Britain and America were in comparison to the more Catholic parts of Europe.
