Imagine for a moment that you were a lowly peasant in Germany in the early 1500’s, and your life was one of simple subsistence and prayerful devotion to God while raising your family. You couldn’t read, you couldn’t write and your education was limited. You have a loving wife and six beautiful children, although two had tragically died very young. This is your life and it is a hard, sacrificial yet holy life where you hope to make it to Heaven along with your wife and children
Suddenly, there’s a monk who is claiming that he and he alone has cracked the riddle to the Bible. This is shocking and a bit silly to you, since the Christian faith is almost fifteen centuries old. This one monk, about whom there are many rumors of odd and/or bizarre behavior, now claims that all the martyrs, saints, bishops, priests, nuns and holy men and women who have preceded you for the last fifteen centuries all got it wrong regarding the Bible and the Christian faith.
This monk leads in with charges of corruption with some traveling priests who claim to be raising money for rebuilding St. Peter’s cathedral in Rome. Sure, there are issues with that and you were concerned about their behavior and if they were really sending the money back to Rome or not. But he doesn’t stop there, and that’s what has you questioning what is going on. He now claims that the Church Jesus built has the wrong doctrines, even wrong doctrines on the most basic and fundamental aspects of the faith.
This one monk claims that in spite of the Bible literally and explicitly saying that we are NOT saved by faith alone, he says this is incorrect and the Bible actually says we ARE saved by faith alone. He also says that we are to go by the Bible alone, despite the Bible saying we are to also follow the Church and Sacred Tradition.
Now you are transported back to early 2020. You are a simple man with a family and you just want to raise your kids and lead a holy life. But suddenly you hear about this new virus that is so deadly and contagious that we must shut down the entire economy and society. We must also do things that literally contradict the known and established science regarding viruses that have been very clear for more than a century. We have known that viruses transmit in confined spaces and between families, yet leaders are closing beaches, closing playgrounds and closing parks. They claim that these places are far too dangerous to remain open, while all of viral science explicitly says that airborne viruses do not transmit very well outside, especially in the sunlight and fresh air. Sunlight especially is known to kill viruses within seconds, so being outside is the safest place possible for those who wish to avoid infection.
This is how Protestantism and Branch Covidianism is eerily similar. Branch Covidians (those who are in the cult which has fallen for this plandemic) demand that you believe every single utterance from those who claim to have special knowledge, insight and wisdom even though it contradicts all common sense and science that we knew prior to 2020. The beginning of Protestantism is the same. A mentally ill monk decided that he alone knew better than all of the fifteen centuries of Christians who came before him. He alone knew the solution to solve the “riddle” of the Bible and then proclaimed new doctrines that contradict the explicit words of the Bible itself. And all the leaders around you suddenly proclaimed that they alone had special knowledge and insight that allowed them to know and define the Christian faith, completely contrary to all of Christianity prior to them. This was followed up with vicious persecution by these people for anyone who dared to challenge or question these new dogmas and doctrines.
There is nothing new under the sun, as Scripture says. The same demonic social contagion that gripped Christendom and led hundreds of millions out of the Christian faith, is the same demonic social contagion that caused billions of people to demand others to wear face diapers, close down businesses and to inject everyone with an experimental gene therapy.
Reject the social contagion. Leave the Protestant religion and become Christian. Leave Protestantism and join the only Church that Jesus built, the Catholic Church.
Who will lead the “Counter Reformation”?
