>>18127746actually he was a homowhich explains why he kept pushing "sola fides"because his behavior was so sinful
>>18127746I hope God has mercy on him because he indirectly caused an unbelievable amount of stress, contradictory information, and Christian infighting.
>>18128596And do you think God will have mercy on the fat faggot criminal pope who wanted him dead for simply asking him to stop squeezing extra money out of his followers by threatening them and their relatives with extradimensional torture if they didn't pay up? Curious to hear your opinion.
>>18128620Yeah actually, I was thinking that earlier too. There were people in the church that caused this reaction and are responsible. The response should never be to schism though. It comes down to whether or not you believe Jesus when He said the gates of hell won’t prevail against the church. Protestants are implicitly saying the gates of hell prevailed by protesting the church.
>>18128660Martin Luther was not schismatic at the beginning or even when his supporters started calling for schism. He considered himself a catholic calling for internal reform. He just accepted that schism was the obvious inevitable outcome when the pope/papal authorities continuously chimped out at the slightest legitimate criticism of their predatory policies. It's astounding that anyone could blame him and not the corrupt church authorities for the schism. No unbiased person who knows how it played out would ever blame him for it.
