With all the X accounts celebrating the Protestant Reformation & how it supposedly “saved” or “rediscovered” the Gospel, I figured a look should be given to what it really wrought. There was a significant departure from the early Church, which has only gotten worse.

The murder of Fr. Leo Heinrichs in 1908.

This 1915 book sounds really good, especially as it seems to echo themes Vatican II would states nearly 50 years later. So this one goes into the “definitely read” stack! archive.org/details/somethou…

Not even close. 🥱

Another Catholic defender during the Protestant Reformation era that is sadly little known today. I used copies of his writings at Internet Archive & AI to make this.

Using copies of writings from the 1916 AOG Statement of Fundamental Truths & St. Irenaeus of Lyons, I put together this comparison between them using AI.

The Eucharist is the medicine of immortality, the antidote to death.

Until? 🤦‍♂️

And then we get what Jesus said vs. what Muslim claim He said & believed… 😏

The early Church helps us recognize the biblical canon. Shouldn’t it also help us understand the Bible? Scripture, the Fathers, & the danger of reading as though no Christian came before us.

Naah. This is more like it. 😉

You confuse using personal judgment with making it the final authority. Recognizing an authority doesn’t put you above it. Does your judgment that God exists & Scripture is His inerrant word give you authority over either?

Another 19th century anti-Catholic incident in America that is little known today.

This 1889 book by Fr. Luke Rivington, an Anglican convert, looks to be good so into the “definitely read” stack it goes! archive.org/details/dependen…

Using copies of writings from Smith Wigglesworth & Tertullian, I put together this comparison between them using AI.

St. Thomas Aquinas didn’t suffer fools lightly. 😂

Muslims seem to believe the oddest things. Even if we excise Paul’s epistles, and rely upon nothing else save the Gospels, Christianity & Islam are still very different from each other and incompatible.

This 1899 book by Patrick Francis Cardinal Moran looks really good & appeals to my heritage, so goes into the “definitely read” stack! archive.org/details/catholic…

One of my favorite movie classics about one of my favorite saints. St. Thomas More, ora pro nobis! 🙏
