How is /christian/ going to commemorate the 500th?

I'm going to mourn the millions of souls that were lost because of the deformation 500 years ago.

You might find that to be an unpopular opinion, but it's what I personally think. I don't think Luther wanted to completely split off from the Church at first, but the power got to him later on. I also pray for his soul frequently.

Whats the history of Halloween/Hallows eve?


70875a No.541920

>>541912

1st of Novemeber is called 'All Saints Day' since it's part of the church calendar that commemorates/venerates every Saint who has passed from this life to the next

now putting aside the idea that only some folks are definite Saints, since when the Apostles addressed the laity they called them saints too - even though most of them had never done any miracles nor got beatified - and since saint simply means those have been set aside for God so that means EVERY believer is a Saint…

… well this pagan folklore got embraced during medieval superstitious time, and mixed in with a weak christianity that was held by the unlearned, and the notion was that All Saints Day being the holiest day of the year, on the night before, the devils would come out and try to do all their worst

so yeah, Hallow means Holy - 'E'en' means Eve or evening - so like Christmas Eve you get Halloween

and a bunch of nominal christians getting all pagan and practicing lustful idolatry and licentiousness

hasn't really changed much

… oh, the pagan folklore origin is most likely connected to the druidic celebration of samhain, but anyone who's played Silent Hill knows that

And yes, many Catholics do support gay marriage wrongly. It is probably a blessing then that they do not have control of doctrine and so forth.

"Others, like the sacramentarians, (those are justly called sacramentarians, who attribute to the sacraments what they do not contain, and by high-sounding but false and made-up promises, lead men away from simple trust in the one God to belief in the power of symbols. Therefore if any one hereafter finds “sacramentarians” in my writings, I want him to understand that class of men who attribute to symbols what belongs only to Divine Power and to the Holy Spirit, personally working in our souls, which symbols and the external word only proclaim and represent), the sacramentarians, I say, either not understanding or not wishing to understand the usage and meaning of our Lord’s words, twist this language so far as to venture to assert that the things themselves are really and materially conveyed by the sacraments by virtue of the words joined with the elements, and they defend their error by saying, “Faith is of things invisible.” “You do not see grace in baptism,” they say, “but it is certainly conveyed by virtue of the words, as soon as the clergyman has said, ‘I baptize thee in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost.’ ” When you demand proof of this proposition, they say: “Faith is of things invisible.”

They fail to notice that baptism is not given to any one unless he first confesses that he has faith, if he is a grown person, or unless he has the promise in virtue of which he is counted a member of the Church, if he is a child. Thus this thing which the sacramentarians maintain is conveyed invisibly by the sacrament was actually conveyed before. For he who confesses faith had it before he confessed it and, therefore, before he was baptized. For confession precedes immersion. Thus the faith which was given by the light and gift of the Spirit was there before the candidate was admitted to the sacrament, or if he did not have faith, it is certainly not brought to him by baptism. For neither Judas nor Simon the sorcerer, who were without faith when they were baptized, received faith by baptism. But if an infant is to be baptized, since he cannot himself confess faith, he must have the promise which counts him within the Church. The promise is, that the Gentiles, when they have obtained the knowledge of God, and true religion, shall be just as much of the church and people of God as the Hebrews. This all the prophets heralded and Christ Himself most plainly promises. “They shall come from the east and from the west, and shall recline with the God of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob.”* And “The last shall be first,” and “The vineyard shall be given to other husbandmen,” and “There shall be one shepherd and one fold.”

Since, therefore, the children of the Hebrews have always been counted with the Church with their parents, and the divine promise is sure, it is clear that the children of Christians belong to the Church of Christ just as much as their parents. This promise is not conveyed in baptism, but he to whom it has been previously given is baptized, that by a visible sign he may bear witness that he is of the number of those who through the goodness of God are called the people of God. Here surely nothing new is brought in, but that which has been previously given is recognized by a religious rite, and the name is given when the symbol and pledge have been received."

The key word here is "materially". Zwingli is, as I pointed out, maintaining the doctrine that grace in the sacraments is limited only to believers, that grace is not so inseparably linked to the sacraments that it is always conferred.

It is my understanding that Luther did not intend for the schism or any breaking away at all from the Church; he was a Catholic priest and died believing that he was still one in communion with the Church. The protestant reformation is romanticized a lot and also condensed greatly, as the schism didn't really take root until after he was dead and then the protestant denominations began to form from false prophets and heretical theologians. Luther (in my understanding, and I could very well be wrong) wanted to criticize Church corruption (which indeed has never been or ever will be adherent to Canon Law or Church teaching) and made theological arguments which were subsequently refuted. Catholics have those debates all the time, which is why Christ gave His church the final authority on matters of the faith. But no, as far as I understand it, the schism and the reformation were unintended and not at all what he envisioned from making his theses. He just wanted the Church to "come back" to what he might have thought it used to be, an uncorrupted, pure and righteous body of Christ that was unfettered by political meddling and vice. Although, as Christ said "the gates of hell shall not prevail against it," the Church is comprised of humans, and we are all fallen beings in need of a savior, and the Church is that covenant, so to speak.

Looking at the summation of my arguments, it feels as though some minor detail is out of place but I cannot quite put my finger on it. I'll leave it to you all to make any minor corrections.


1c084c No.542379

If he wanted a genuine reformation, he would not have stipulated Sola Scriptura or Sola Fide as the sole theological doctrine the Church should use.

Few reject Martin Luther, the man ranting against the Church's mis-use and corruption of indulgences for financial gain.

The Church has condemned the rogue priest and monk who defied both tradition and the magisterium. If he had not wanted the reformation to occur, he would not have run off to european princes who consequently broke off from the Church in rebellion and enabled them to act against it.

Read the history of what he did, when he left the Church he went to that other power in the world, the State.

Kinda but not really. Luther's definition of the church by the time he died would be what we hold the definition of the church to be, not rome's definition – namely, the church is where the word is rightly proclaimed and the sacraments rightly distributed.

This is a far cry from what rome calls the church.

>the schism didn't really take root until after he was dead and then the protestant denominations began to form from false prophets and heretical theologians.

Eh, not really.

there were two reformations going on in Luther's times.

The one we always think of is the Lutheran reformation. However, at the same time, you have the anabaptist reformation going on as well, who had some tenuous connection with the Hussites and potentially with ancient heretics such as the cathars, etc (srsly, trail of blood baptists aren't as wrong as you'd think about their history…they're just wrong thinking it's a good idea to say that you're a descendant from bogomilism, etc).

This other reformation was very much anti-roman from the outset.

Further: after exsurge domine was published, luther pretty much flipped his shit and started talking about how the pope is antichrist. From that point on, Luther didn't really recognize the church in rome as being the church.

>as far as I understand it, the schism and the reformation were unintended and not at all what he envisioned from making his theses

This is where you're correct. Luther didn't intend schism with the theses. Luther wrote a lot more than the theses, though.

>There was the reformation of European intellectual life led by humanists steeped in the Greek and Roman classics: men like the Dutchman Erasmus (whose scholarship deeply influenced those who would become known as “Protestants” but who never broke with Rome) and Thomas More (who urged Erasmus to deepen his knowledge of Greek, the Church fathers, and the New Testament in its original language). There were at least four major flavors of “Protestant” reformation—Lutheran, Zwinglian, Radical, and Calvinist—and plenty of subdivisions within those categories. There were impressive pre-Luther Catholic reformers like the archbishop of Toledo, Cardinal Francisco Jiménez de Cisneros. There were Catholic reformers who left a mixed legacy: The French educator Guillaume Budé, for example, influenced both the Protestant reformer John Calvin and the Catholic reformer Ignatius Loyola. There was the failed Catholic reform mandated by the Fifth Lateran Council but never implemented by Pope Leo X (the first and last pontiff to keep an albino elephant as a pet). And there were the Catholic reformers, of various theological and pastoral dispositions, who shaped the teaching of the Council of Trent and then vigorously implemented its reforms.

Nothing in particular, but I will keep this in mind as I did not know the 31st was the day. I was already planning on going to daily mass for the week (Halloween, All Souls Day, All Saints Day, First Friday, First Saturday), so I have nothing really planned.

Figured since I'm going 6 out of 7 days, might as well go Monday too

Did any non-Protestants have a special an anti-reformation Sunday service at their Church? You know, teaching on why Jesus and the Bible is not enough.

We recited the Nicene creed and had the true presence of Jesus Christ.

We did not consider you at all.

Rome has gotten better honestly. Would be nice if we all started coming back together
