Have you ever read Martin Luther’s 95 Theses?

Yes I have.

There were very good & valid reasons for the rebellion

The Theses were all reasonable questions and the need for reform in the Church was there, and the Church was reformed. But the so-called Reformation, whatever its original impulses were, created a self-destroying scattering of sects, all loosely centered around counter-biblical premises of Scripture Alone and Faith Alone, and on anti-clericalism. The Protestant Reformation did nothing good and is headed toward the trash heap of history along with the Donatists, the Iconoclasts, and sundry Gnostics.

I’d say that today’s RCC is more Gnostic then any protestant organization.

But the so-called Reformation, whatever its original impulses were, created a self-destroying scattering of sects, all loosely centered around counter-biblical ROMAN premises of indulgences, TRADITION plus Scripture, and high-mindedness.
