For what it is, is a refutation of Rome’s claims to Supremacy.
>>The Protestant Revolution accomplished no such thing. The only thing it accomplished was setting the stage for the general apostasy that produced the “Enlightenment.”

Catholics heartily affirm the following Solas.

Sola Deo Gloria, Sola Gratia, and Sola Christus.

Sola Scriptura and Sola Fide, however, are unbiblical.

Easy believism, is a Protestant neologism, developed by Baptists who reject once saved, always saved.

The Reformation was not any different than the Russian Revolution or the French Revolution in that it overthrew the existing religious order in Northern Europe and created fertile soil for atheism.

Yes, I'm aware of your opinions on the matter. Yet they remain that.

If the Reformation is now the sole cause of mankind's present ills, and general separation from the Holiness of the Lord, then much share of the blame for it occurring must be laid at the feet of those churchmen of the Middle Ages whose own intransigence, sin, and heretical behavior in opposition to the Lord and His Ways, caused it to occur.

If the spread of atheism is the chief problem, then how can the re-institution of near unbridled power that was known by the European church of the Middle Ages be the cure?

The world has been there, and done that, and will have no more of it.
