God sure did allow Luther and those Protestants to go their way, so apparently He did not intend for Catholic rule over this globe.

“God sure did allow Luther and those Protestants to go their way, so apparently He did not intend for Catholic rule over this globe.”

As we both know, there is the concept of free will. Luther and the Protestants going their own way was an act of free will, just as someone who decides to murder one of his fellow humans is an act of free will, or those who take drugs is an act of free will, or those that become prostitutes and johns is an act of free will. Need I go on? God allows man to make choices in life based on free will, but that doesn’t make those choices all good ones. And the splintering of the Christian religion into a multitude of sects was not a good choice.

That's a mystifying conclusion to come to.

Topic: God allowed the Romans to crucify His Son, therefore, APPARENTLY, God was a fan of Roman justice. Discuss.
