The reason the Church fought so hard against "salvation by faith alone" is that this is an incredibly reductionist view of faith.
The reductionist view of "Faith Alone" uses the same words as Paul the Apostle in Romans, Ephesians, and Galatians, but the Protestant term conveys a different meaning than Paul's. In those passages, Paul says we are not saved by "works", but he does not share the same understanding of that term as Protestantism. Paul's "works" are very obviously works of the Old Covenant - circumcision, ritual washing, and dietary restrictions. He says this quite explicitly in Romans, and you should enter into all readings of "works" that he writes with this understanding. But this is not what Protestantism holds as "works". "Works" under Protestantism is an incredibly vague term, and can even include repentance and prayer depending on who you ask. Paul would have considered this outrageous, as repentance is absolutely necessary for faith to be had to begin with. One comes to knowledge of God, understands they are broken and need His grace, and confess their sins to Him and put their trust in Him - this is the "act" of repentance, possible by the grace of God, and the FIRST step to increasing in faith. Using the false paradigm of Protestantism, this would seem to indicate that the order of events go: Grace > Work (repentance) > Faith
In reality, "works" and "faith" are wrapped up together, both necessitating each other. These separable terms are ONLY around due to Protestantism making the false separation. The Church would otherwise call these things like prayer and repentance "acts of faith", not "works", but unfortunately too much credit was given to the Reformers in their false semantic debates.
So how does Protestantism have a reductionist view of faith?
Protestantism holds that faith is basically a magical, amorphous substance. Protestantism cuts off faith as an end product of repentance and prayer (because that would insinuate "works" cause "faith"), and therefore they are left with this view that God's grace creates this mystical, undefinable stuff in you that causes you to believe in God by no decision of your own. And the thing is that it's incredibly easy to disprove. All you have to do is this: when they say "salvation by faith alone", you say "how much faith?"

Idk why some people think you have to worship Hitler in order to truly hate the jews
Newsflash:
The hatred of the Christkillers didnβt start or will end with Hitler
In fact Karl Lueger, a Austrian Politician was one of the most famous jew haters of his time and some say he inspired Hitler
I understand why some of you may like him
He gave great speeches, brought up a lot of good points, made a popular movement
You can get inspired to a point
But we are not trying to be another version of him because we actually want to win permanently

The same people consistently share articles that turn out to be fake once the actual documents release.
This is what not having basic pattern recognition looks like.
After the second or third time, wouldnβt you start to see that the mainstream media hates the church? In addition, so many of these people claim that mainstream media only lies to support their narrative, but then they believe everything that the msm says about the church.
These people cannot think for themselves and cannot be helped

Forwarded from Bishop Williamson (Unofficial)
I had the honour of visiting Bishop Williamson today in the QEQM hospital today. The doctors estimate he is most likely to die within the next 24 hours, and even if he recovered, he would be in a vegetative state. We prayed the rosary around him, he again received extreme unction and mass was said in his room, both of which I had the privilege of participating in. Bishop Richard Nelson Williamson would and does want us to pray the rosary for him, so please do.
God bless you all
