“”The Reformation was a renewal back to the what the early Church fathers believed about the relationship between Scripture and Church””

That has to be the one of the silliest things I have ever seen written on any religious forum.

If that were the case than you would all believe that Eucharist is literally the Body and Blood of Christ and living a sacramental life.... Thus being united.

The reformation and the reformers did not unite anything, including themselves

What the reformation has lead to is -divisions upon divisions leading to thousands of protestant communities with various beliefs all claiming the Holy Spirit leads them.

The fruits of the reformation is the spirit of confusion.

The spirit of confusion is NOT the Holy Spirit!

The only thing protestants seem to be united in is attacks on the Catholic Church.

It was in the same fashion of those who wanted Christ crucified that the reformers in their pride sought out to TRY and divide and destroy the Catholic Church.

The gates of hell did not prevail as Christ promised and it is the protestant churches that ended up divided.

Yawn.

That old hound ain’t hunting and it never did.

It’s time to put’er down.

It’s just senseless barking.
