Bek dicht, paapsche vetzak, wij konden de spanjolen in hun thuiswater opblazen en in de Caribbean, hun achterlijke anglofiele broertjes waren nog makkelijker.

The Roman Catholic Church teaches that works are required for salvation, but since the Portuguese and the Spanish were the ones going around Asia lazily, haphazardly trying to spread the Gospel by the means of extremely poor translations, I honestly doubt that many East Asian people would understand the kinds of works that would be needed in order for people to be properly saved.
If England had stayed as a Roman Catholic country, then perhaps Japan and other Asian countries could have had an opportunity of becoming Catholic, but because it was Iberians who gave zero fucks about learning foreign languages and just used Christianity as a tool to spread the Spanish Empire rather out of a sincere desire to bring people towards Christ, then that means they woulda gotten the discount, 30% off version of Roman Catholicism.
It is better not to be a Roman Catholic than to be an awful one.

I think they made Christianity illegal because it would disrupt the political order and traditions of Japan. they killed people for being Christians. That and protestantism in Europe are just examples of politicians using religion to their convenience and people just eating it up. Religion feels authentic to these people, but the only reason why they are not catholic is because the politicians in their countries didnt think it was convenient.

Popery is religion for slaves and serfs, protestantism is the religion for free men.

isnt protestantism credited with increasing literacy rates so that people would read the bible and with the economic development of western European societies?. Undoubtedly prots are godless people who would abandon the church simply because their king wanted to marry many women throughout his life, but you have got to give it to them, they have built great societies (the Netherlands, America, Britain, Germany).

>Rothschild loans to the Holy See were series of major financial loans arranged between the Rothschild family and the Holy See of the Catholic Church.
Though considering your flag you're probably an atheist.

Why tf do you niggers fight like Papuan highlanders over literal totem items?
If there were a God, it would not be necessary to have an outwardly expression for one's belief in that-that-is. Belief in what is the ultimate nature of Being should be a deeply personal issue, not something that one should feel proud of or that one should haughtily flaunt before others. That which is true should not be an item of dogma. Only value statements about ephemeral phenomena need to be clutched for fear they may escape at any moment.

>You're godless because you dared to read the bible yourself instead of a pedo preist telling you what you should believe in.
????
If anything reading the bible yourself makes you closer to God. Than the ((( cathodog church))) interpretation.

The essential problem with Catholicism is that it never could cope with the fact that everything isn't an extension of universal magic triangles. Bro if you reduce everything to geometry we're all the same and if you can't see the geometry then die or whatever. It's the same problem with socialism, they think there's a universal mould for all of humanity and if people don't fit into it then they're just not enlightened enough. Literally treating people like cattle is more ethical than Catholic gaslighting, Protestants dumbed it down and outlined rules for "progress" which was just coded geopolitical threats most of the time they didn't actually think most people could be enlightened (see John Calvin).

Catholcism is One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic. The original church, y'all are coping.

The Dutch had nothing to do with it, the real reason is the Spanish Armada sinking, that kinda ruined Spain's plans in Asia. Before that Spain was getting a foothold in Cambodia, planning to invade China and allying with Catholic Daimyos

South Korea's most populous belief by percentage is Christianity (Both Catholic and Protestant) and they are doing just fine as Developed country.
The State of Sarawak in Muslim Malaysia is majority Christian and their HDI of 0.821 is considered Developed country level.
We may consider Christian Philippines poor but many of their provinces that number in the tens of millions have HDI levels considered at the Developed Country Level.
Benguet: 0.88 (Very high)
Metro Manila: 0.85 (Very high)
Ilocos Norte: 0.82 (Very high)
Rizal: 0.82 (Very high)
Iloilo: 0.80 (Very high)
Same 0.8s range as Qatar and Portugal.

reminder that Nagasaki was one of the largest and oldest catholic hubs in east Asia when the Americans dropped a nuclear bomb directly on its christian cathedral, which had survived centuries of polytheist persecution

Oppenheimer was the Jew who created the Nuclear Bombs, that Jew was more than happy to target the Nuclear Bombs in the Two Most Christian Cities of Japan, Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Nagasaki and Hiroshima were the two centers of Christianity in Japan.

Anglicanism claims to be both Catholic and Protestant. Catholic since the Archbishop of Canterbury holds legitimate Apostolic Succession in the line of Bishops up to Saint Peter, when England was once Catholic and the Pope assigned the English King the status of a Protocanon (An honorary Priesthood, heading a local church) among the Churches surrounding Rome usually reserved to Catholic King, but ever since England's betrayal to Protestantism, the English King's Protocanon seat has been given over to the Spanish King. Still the legtimate Apostolic Succesion is still there. Also Protestant since they joined the Protestant Revolution.
