How did the Catholics manage to get btfo so hard by the Protestants? I think god sided with the Protestants

That's because of protestant countries being rich. If you look at how people vote it's always Catholics voting at the more SJW-like and current year parties.

There is nothing wrong with Portugal or Italy, Poland would be fine too if gommunism didn't fuck it up. Catholic nations have done absolutely fine.

I hope recent economic trends are not your only metric with regards to how big a "shithole" a country is, in ten years time it might be protestants who are getting the shit end of the stick economically, it has to do entirely with EU fuckery, trade policy, resource management, etc, not religion.

>There is nothing wrong with Portugal or Italy

No, it was a draw. If either side won the other would not still exist. Those ERE the stakes.

>Yet managed to defeat the God-powered invading Anglo-Dutch navy
Pretty cool.

The US is a serious outlier when it comes to this, there is no modern equivalent to American super-right-wing fundamentalist evangelical Christianity in Europe. Many European protestant churches are the opposite - socially progressive, feminist, multiculturalist, borderline socialist organizations.

Not really, think of it as the Middle eastern conflict with the Protestants as Israel and the Catholics as the Arabs. The Protestant just wanted to keep their faith, the Catholics wanted to wipe the Protestants of the map.
Also add in that the Catholic Church was the USSR of the pre-modern era, they even had their own Prague spring.

Man, the Anglican Church manages to have a comfortable conservative lead within it and it still has women/openly gay clergy, what's up with that?

>thinks 30 years war was a religious conflict and not a constitutional one

The religious dispute was only present for propaganda (ensuring the devout would keep fighting) and helped show a lot of the troubles present in the imperial constitution

>Portugal
Punishment for allying with catholics tbqh

What about the UK? Catholics prefer voting at the socially more progressive labor compared to Protestants.

Being gay don't makes you open border or anything.

Catholics are worse at women and homosexuals at being "muh current year"?

>no Presbyterians

The Anglican Church is just a social organization for 'respectable' English Society for the longest time. It's basically a tax exempt country club.

You're aware that those 500k (assuming this figure is accurate) soldiers were spread out all over the empire and not entirely committed against the Swedes?

The Swedes fought Well but after some time the Reich got its shit together and the Swedes got their asses Kicker at Nördlingen. The real gamechanger was the erstmal frenchie backstabbing God and the Church.

Austria, Slovenia, and Switzerland are fine as well.

Italy and Portugal are alright, not excellent, but alright.

Canada too.

Also to add, Catholic Germans are much more pro immigration and homogay than Protestant Germans and the may 1968 events occurred in Catholic France.
Catholics are much more SJW-like than Protestants, they just like to hide it behind poorer countries.

This. Although Merkel is a Protestant

>Catholics are much more SJW-like than Protestants, they just like to hide it behind poorer countries.
Yes and no.

Yes because Social Justice is big in Catholic doctrine. But these are real fucking problems like poverty and not bullshit like manspreading.

No because they still wont advocate shit like gay marriage and the like.

Besides what you have there in Europe are all lapse faggots. In any case I'll take that any time over Protestant literalism and anti-intellectualism.

The 30 Years War was an enormous clusterfuck. Nobody knew who was supposed to be fighting who by 1648 because literally everyone had changed sides at least once, some people had done so 4 or 5 times.

t. riven main

Wew lads getting desperate now.

>Besides what you have there in Europe are all lapse faggots. In any case I'll take that any time over Protestant literalism and anti-intellectualism.
I am rather sure Protestantism is more intellectual than Catholicism, or at least it got a much longer story of getting any important percentage of the population to read and consume litterature than Catholicism got .

>MUH CREATIONISM
>MUH INTERPRET BIBLES LITERALLY.
>All the weirdo protestant cults infesting my country.
>Intellectual
Let's throw in pedophilia to fucking boot.

>we're so educated
>protestants proceed to burn far more "witches" than Catholics
>Meanwhile Catholic clergy bans /r9k/ books like the malleus maleficarum and attempts to end superstitious beliefs in Satanic powers

Protestshits did nothing but read their bibles and splinter into new churches because they interpreted it differently and thought they knew better.

American protestantism is an outlier.

>Yes because Social Justice is big in Catholic doctrine. But these are real fucking problems like poverty and not bullshit like manspreading.
Because the catholics you are talking about all live in Poorer countries?
If you place them in Europe they will quickly turn more SJW than their Protestant peers.

>Being a fundie don't mean you can in any way be an intellectual
You aren't really any matter than bill maher saying the pope can't be an intellectual since he's a Christian.

Yes, and one of the countries that burnt the lest witches, Spain, also had one of the most anti intellectual movements while the witch burning Puritans later became part of the intellectual elite of the USA.

>MUH CREATIONISM
>MUH INTERPRET BIBLES LITERALLY.
Oh noe how dare they do something all of Christianity has been doing for the past 2000 years

God is a Protestant

Serbs aren't protestant.

ITT: A slice of Ireland.

God is a swede.

>when you get god so pissed he destroys his own church

Hehe.. Hehehe.. Heh.. Fun meme friendo

Swedes lost when Gustavus Adolphus died nördlingen was just the dying trying to struggle

>"A good Christian can never be a bad soldier, and the man who has finished his prayers has already got over the best half of his day's work."

- Gustavus Adolphus, after falling to his knees in prayer upon landing ashore with his army to fight for religious freedom in Germany against the Holy Roman (Catholic) Empire who were attacking the German protestants.

Didn't the Danes enact a law that legally allowed Danes to beat Swedes to death if they used the ice to cross over after this battle? Dem salty Danes.

Nigga St Augustine was talking shit about that in the 400s

What the fuck are you on about?

the protestants you mention are still catholics. However they stopped giving tithes to the see. It made them harder to distinguish in battle as they could assume the role as ally in battle. This is where the term 'False Flag' originates. Many protestants were known to carry False Catholic kingdom
flags into battle hence making them better spies and tactful. These protestant nations werent 100% free of catholics. They still had a catholic minority which they spied on. So its an intricate situation. Let me give you a legend as an example. During the battle of 'bunker' hill the colonist didnt know who was who as the incoming troops would have false flags and they were also waiting for back up from europe at the same time. What gave them leverage was how people from different areas looked. If they bore a false flag they could atleast go by how they looked. Nowhere as extreme as this since this usually involved betrayal within the catholic political offices.

>look at me not knowing shit about Christianity

This guy?

>The narrative in Genesis is not written in a literary style proper to allegory, as in the Song of Songs, but from beginning to end in a style proper to history, as in the Books of Kings and the other works of that type

>Unbelievers are also deceived by false documents which ascribe to history many thousand years, although we can calculate from Sacred Scripture that not 6,000 years have passed since the creation of man

He also spent 5 pages in the City of God explaing how the flood could cover the highest mountains, how the Ark was big enough, how Noah could build it, and how he could feed all the carnivorous animals on it.
