BTW, I guess you are unaware that the Protestant Reformation triggered a Catholic Reformation to address corruption in the RC. What was that all about?

I don’t know, but some people seem to have issues with bringing some abstract subject matter into discussions from time to time.

I would note the following ironies about how the Reformation has evolved.

1) Protestations of the power of the Catholic Church, yet you have government-run protestant churches nowadays (Denmark and Finland’s Lutheran Churches), and the case of the Episcopal Church.

2) Protestations about the Catholic Church falling away, yet numerous other Protestant groups have their giving up man-woman marriage to attract new followers.

3) People protest the Catholic Church’s opposite-gender marriage policy when they have the option of joining another church. Most of these people also have little to no interest in religion at all, anyways.

well, actually it was more about semantics than anything else. The Catholic church changed NOTHING having to do with faith and morals...no changes whatsoever were EVER made in Catholic theology....methodoligy, perhaps, rituals, some maybe but not many....the Catholic church is very much the same today as she was when CHRIST personally founded her...
