Protestant theologians started life out by trying to join the circus.  Since they weren't overly acrobatic and kept getting elephant dung all over the place, the only course of action left was to become a Protestant theologian.

If they are fortunate and gaseously verbose, the traveling circus will let them set up a tent.  Protestant theologians in training are their hawkers that stand outside their tents saying, "For all the truth you weren't allowed to know, step right up and here the wise one tell you the way it is.  Only $10 and the scales will be removed from your eyes..."

I once spent a snoringly dull hour and 15 minutes listening to a Pres-byterian "minister" giving a lecture about how the Church Fathers (yes, Irenaeus, Chrysostom, etc) taught "faith alone" and were actually crypto-Calvinists!

People them conveniently IGNORE many of the plainest and most unambiguous statements ever made about Catholic doctrines, which can be found in the writings of the Fathers.

Others are "forced" to start with the arch-heretic Luther and his progeny, because they are too stupid to recognize that there WAS NO OTHER LEGITIMATE, ORTHODOX CHRISTIAN CHURCH in the WORLD before the Reformation/Revolution (and there isn't another since, either).

Cardinal Newman said, "To be deep in history is to cease to be a Protestant." Absolutely true; it's even happened to a dumb cinder-block like me.

Kyrie eleison.

Immaculate Heart of Mary, triumph soon!

Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us.

They're scuмbags.

Did you listen to that when you were a Protestant?

I really wonder: how on earth is it even conceivable for someone to be a Protestant?

The only explanations are ignorance, bad will, dishonesty, or a combination of some or all of them.

Supernatural blindness too.

Why do they even believe in the Bible in the first place? On who's authority do they say, ok, I will believe it? Do they just pick up a bible, read it, decide they like it, and then are "born again" and "accept Jesus as their savior"?

Since the case AGAINST Protestantism is so clear-cut (I mean just read history!), what do these people even say in defense of it?

If you see a heretical conventicle and a "preacher" there, and you go in and challenge him, telling him he's a phony and a heretic, that he wouldn't even have a Bible if it weren't for the Church, what would he say?

There's like 3 or 4 Protestant conventicles around my house, and they put speakers every week and sing and yell and shout and all that garbage and i can't stand it, and i feel like going there and challenging the "preacher".
