Admit it, Protestants. The Papal States represented Christendom at its peak. The very manifestation of the Kingdom of Heaven, at the head of a continent-wide institution with the authority to command kings from the shores of Lisbon to the Dnieper, heavenly aesthetic feats like St. Peter's Basilica and the Sistine Chapel, masterful warriors and statesman, and the revival of the glory of ancient Rome, all under the cross of Christ, devoted to the cause of God, which would go on to send its missionaries, willing to die even a death on the cross, to nations from East to West. Just say it: you fucked up. Now your bishops and priests are homosexuals and women, your churches are empty, and your most devoted worship Israel. You destroyed all of this, for that?
>>18465717>You destroyed all of this, for that?No, we realized that faith alone saves us and the Papists were leading us astray. Your Jesuits brought in all of those evil things.
The Papal States being repeatedly humiliated into the wholesome chungus reddit NGO it is now is the best thing that could've happened to the church.I guarantee you the catholic church would not have survived the 20th century still being run by a machiavellian warlord with publicly-acknowledged mistresses and catamites
>>18465747It absolutely would have.
>>18465717The kingdom of heaven is when a bunch of Italian families pass around the Catholic church like it's a whore and use to enrich themselves.>>18465747It wasn't that during the 19th century. And even the 19th century Church would have had a rough time sans vatican II.
>>18465789>The kingdom of heaven is when a bunch of Italian families pass around the Catholic church like it's a whore and use to enrich themselves.Blaspheming isn't making a case for your heresy, Bobby.
>>18465794The truth is blasphemy to the antichrist.
>>18465795Which one of the 33,000 truths is yours?
>>18465717Catholicism was great, until they tried to recognize the dark hell-spawned demons as being any part of the body of Christ. That is, after all, what caused the schism.
>>18465802Racist idiot. All nations are blessed by the Lord Jesus Christ.
>>18465804Jesus is a messiah, but not your messiah because you are a dark hell-spawned demon and the trinity is the light of God in Christ which does the will of the Father, the one true living God is your God. I hope one day you see the light and learn to love your God, the only God that can save the world from hell. God so loved the world (his creation), that he gave his only begotten son, so that whoever believes in him (the light) shall not perish but have eternal life (the body of Christ can be eternal).
>>18465806You are going to burn in the fires of hell for all of eternity because of your many blasphemies if you do not repent. The worm will not die, your thirst will never be quenched, God will turn His face away from you. Christ came for all peoples, and this is in the holy scriptures. On Pentecost the Apostles spoke in many tongues, and Philip himself taught the Ethiopian eunuch to follow the Lord. May the Lord Jesus Christ heal you of your afflictions, both spiritual and mental.
>>18465810you need to go back to whatever hole of hell you dark hell-spawned demons escaped from, africa, or india, or wherever mouth of hell you issue forth fromthe kingdom came, heaven is where it always was, wherever the light of God hold dominion.
>>18465813Tick tock, crazy man.
>>18465829your delusions about an after death fantasy land are heresy invented to deny the existence of the one true living God
>>18465831You are legitimately mentally ill and that is likely the only reason why God won't melt the flesh off of your bones in hell for your demonic heresies.
>>18465836I genuinely hope you see the light someday, before God's judgement reaches you to deliver you what all lovers of darkness have coming.
>>18465842You. Are. Not. Sane. Why do you think you have the right to even have this discussion? I pity you, in that you seem to love God, but your mind is so fractured and distorted that it turns the love of Jesus into hatred of others.
>>18465845I say you are blind, blind with the sort of blindness Jesus famously cured. See the light.
>>18465846You may have seen the light, but scales have formed over your eyes, not allowing to see the truth, and they have not yet fallen off, and they may never fall off. May Christ heal your mind. I pray that one day your hands are the hands of Christ, and your eyes are the eyes of Christ, and your feet are the feet of Christ, and you do wonderful things for the people of Africa, of India, and of so many nations desperate for the hope that the Gospel brings.
>>18465847To that I remind you it is they, the dark of hell, from whom those He chose require salvation. As Jesus put it, they who are of the world hate and seek to destroy those who are of God that He was sent for. However, if they see the light and love their God, they may have a soul imparted to them so they can then serve the heavenly kingdom.
>>18465717The papal states represented the whore of Babylon at its peak
>your bishops and priests are homosexualsYou have the self-awareness of a goldfish
>>18465717>The Papal States....have been completely overrun by faggotry
>>18465717what about orthodox?
>>18465856Even more than in the end times detailed by the Book of Revelation?How very Sola Scriptura of you.
>>18465717Protestants answer to God, not the funny hat pedo.
>>18465717Avignon and the surrounding comtat venaissin was added to the papal states; avignon remained a papal possession for 400 years until the french revolution
>>18466250No, the church of Rome is the whore of Babylon mentioned in the Book of Revelation. The end times began when Jesus Christ rose from the dead.
