>>215061>I dont think many catholics even pay attention to the popeWrong. Most of us are painfully aware of his actions but those of us who understand that his words are not infallible in the realm of politics don't care.
>I understand how degenerate all religion is, including catholicism. Cool statement back it up. Religion is the opposite of degenerate though. Its constructive. Only religious men can create cultural works. Secular men either create through technics or destroy culture.
>So what do you all believe in then? I believe in one God,
the Father almighty,
maker of heaven and earth,
of all things visible and invisible.
I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ,
the Only Begotten Son of God,
born of the Father before all ages.
God from God, Light from Light,
true God from true God,
begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father;
through him all things were made.
For us men and for our salvation
he came down from heaven,
and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary,
and became man.
For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate,
he suffered death and was buried,
and rose again on the third day
in accordance with the Scriptures.
He ascended into heaven
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again in glory
to judge the living and the dead
and his kingdom will have no end.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,
who proceeds from the Father and the Son,
who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified,
who has spoken through the prophets.
I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church.
I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins
and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead
and the life of the world to come.
>What arguments are there for protestant Christianity that should convince me another way?Prods are the most irrational faith out there. Even Islam has more reason within it. Honestly I have yet to meet a prod that can answer this thought experiment with a good answer. What happened to all Catholics for all of time that Protestantism didn't exist? If Catholicism is a heresy we have a spot in hell for those who speak Heresy. Catholics would go there if that was the case. But that would mean after Jesus coming on earth and for the next 1500 years every Christian since the bible was complied went to hell for believing in a heresy. This is so dumb and the mental loops you need to go through (le not all Catholics) to keep (the real prods were underground for 1500 years) this type of dumb heresy (protestants have a line of succession due to the pope losing his) alive is stupid.
