>Jesus canonically handpicks St Peter to be the foundation

>>2290698
Ever notice how Catholic Anglos are the most based? I feel their "church" has done more damage than history would like to admit.

Is it fair to compare the church that St. Peter founded to the corrupt, decadent beast that the papacy is today?

Why have Catholics been so perfidious throughout history?

Forged Donation of Constantine, Sack of Constantinople, Gunpowder Plot, the list goes on.

The only Catholic Anglos I can think of are Tony Abbott and JRR Tolkien, so I think you must be correct.

The RCC was Blessed in tell 1962, when the Vatican was placed in the West side of the iron curtain and liberal subversion was inevitable. That's a pretty impressive track record.

Then suddenly after the schism the Latin church makes owning a non Latin bible punishable by both excommunication and painful execution. Why would they do this? Because most catholic doctrines have no basis in scripture, and without the eastern church to hold back their corruption the patriarch of Rome's vanity knew no bounds.

The king of England was an opportunist but Romes legitimacy is an entirely separate issue.

Can an illiterate Jew became a bishop? Can an illiterate Jew astray from Jesus?

THEN WHY IN THE HELL DID JESUS PICK PETER TO TAKE CARE OF HIS SHEEP?

I always wondered this myself. How do Anglicans justify the fact that their denomination was founded by an adulterer? Catholicism is not perfect, but at least it wasn't balls to the wall hypocritical from the get go.

Simon Magus, the sorceror, was a Babylonian priest. It was he who went to Rome, not Cephas (Simon Peter). Cephas never went to Rome. Simon Magus went to Rome and spread what became known as Christianity, poisoning Christ's teachings with Babylonian mystery religion tenets and rituals.

>>2290855
Yes, Jesus, GOD, doesn't know shit when he pick Peter.

Weak ass god if you ask me.

>>2290845
Seems pretty silly. Does the church have a long vetting period for their priests like the Catholic church does?

One of my family friends is Anglican but now proclaims himself a 'community preacher' on FB and qoutes random scripture all the time. Bloke is like 25.

Heretics. Heretics everywhere.

>implying protestantism is the result of Henry VIII's break from the pope
The protestant reformation was started by Martin Luther. Protestant ideas were spreading in England long before Henry VIII decided to jump on the bandwagon. The fact that Mary failed completely in her effort to turn the country back to Catholicism shows that the spread of Protestantism was rooted in the people of England and not the monarchs. Also, the Church Henry founded wasn't even really Protestant. It was on odd mix of Protestantism and Catholicism - basically, Henry was fine with Catholic doctrine and worship practices, he just didn't like the part where the Pope was in charge. It wasn't until Edward VI that the Church of England became definitively Protestant, and it took Elizabeth I to actually decide exactly what sort of Protestantism it should be and how far it would break from the old faith.

bonus point:
>implying Henry VIII was wrong on the legal grounds of it.
Catherine of Aragon was the wife of Henry's older brother before he died, and so under biblical law should have been forbidden from marrying Henry. The passage isn't exactly unclear: "If a man marries his brother's wife, it is an act of impurity; he has dishonored his brother. They will be childless" (although childless could be just as easily translated: "without sons"). After twenty years of marriage and a litany of miscarriages, still-births and infant deaths, with only a daughter to show for it (who would herself be barren due to uterine cancer), it's hard not to see Henry's point that god had cursed their marriage because it broke biblical law.

The fact that the Pope saw fit to break the law in the first place is exactly why Catholicism isn't really Christianity: if you take the Pope's word over the bible, you're not a Christian, you're a Papist.

canon and biblical law were at odds on the occasion. henry's case was legally weak actually. still, there was a political dimension to the pope's refusal because Catherine was Charles V's niece and had Pope Clement or Paul granted the divorce Charle's would have sperged out

>>2290698
All you had to do was grant the divorce Clement.

Its literally all you had to do.

>>2290768
Is that why Martin Luther sided with the Lords that slaughtered the peasants that revolted for him?
