Can we all agree that the Protestant Reformation was a capitalist

No, but we can all agree that the Protestant reformation is the biggest heresy outside of Orthodoxy being a bitch.

Yes.

>"Christ committed adultery first of all with the women at the well about whom St. John tells us. Was not everybody about Him saying: ‘Whatever has He been doing with her?’ Secondly, with Mary Magdalen, and thirdly with the women taken in adultery whom He dismissed so lightly. Thus even, Christ who was so righteous, must have been guilty of fornication before He died."

t. Martin Luther

>"If your papist annoys you with that word (i.e. alone), tell him straightaway: Doctor Martin Luther will have it so: Papists and asses are one and the same thing. Whoever will not have my translation, let him give it the go-by: the devil's thanks to him who censures it without my will and knowledge. LUTHER WILL HAVE IT SO, AND HE IS A DOCTOR ABOVE ALL THE DOCTORS IN POPEDOM."

>being closer to god is a plot against morality
And paying money to get to heaven is perfectly moral, right?

>>1153922
Yes, if the Pope says so. The indulgences were needed to build St Peter basilica faggot

That's not how indulgences work.

Plus if you actually look up all the different kinds, there's a shitton of indulgences which you can get done in about a week for free.

No.

Yet both Carholics and Protestants have sordid histories and let terrible things happen.

The Catholics have several debauched, corrupt Popes, a history of using religion to bully kings, and let the Knights Templar get disbanded and slaughtered because that particular Pope was a French fuccboi. Not to mention what based Francis said about the Mafia using Vatican banking for money laundering.

Meanwhile the Protestants had a few bloody wars, German Protestants let fucking Hitler into power and commit the Holocaust (with a few exceptions, the White Rose movement and Dietrich Boenhoffer, for example), American Christianity is a shithole, and Singaporean Christianity promotes servility to a political party and let a crazy Christian cult that preaches hate and literally thinks the KJV is the only Bible that exists for parish exist.

You mean all of them? Yet the Habsburg defenders of catholicism sacked Rome because catholic meaning papist is a protestant meme.

No but it did contribute to Christianity's decline.

>The German Centre Party (German: Deutsche Zentrumspartei or just Zentrum) is a lay Catholic political party in Germany during the Kaiserreich and the Weimar Republic.

> Its support for the Nazi Party was decisive in the passage of the Enabling Act, whereby Adolf Hitler assumed dictatorial powers.

yes protetants are splitters

>>1153684
No, but it definitely paved the way for the development of capitalism.

Plus the Reformation was one of the largest looting operations in history, all that Church property, all because the aristocrats were being paid and bushels of grain and not gold.
