And Mary’s perpetual virginity, and made the sign of the cross and kept many other sacraments. IIRC roughly in the 50’s is when the denominations started to further fracture
The post reformation was already beginning to coalesce back into one faith because the similarities were so profound and the reformation was largely accepted as having been occurred.
Then some people decided we couldn’t have one church…
What I found interesting is that Martin Luther STILL believed, after his posting of the 95 theses, that the bread and wine became the ACTUAL body and blood of Christ during communion. The fact that Jesus held bread and wine during the last supper, and said "take, and eat, this is my body, this is my blood" makes it clear that He was referring to the figurative nature of the communion elements. Jesus spoke in parables, so why Catholics think he was being literal in that situation seems pretty odd.
Now that I am aware of what the upper echelons of the catholic church are up to, right along side the global cabal, their illogical interpretation only stands for cannibalism, as far as I’m concerned. The thought of literally eating the flesh and blood of Christ, is straight from satan’s playbook. That’s a satanic ritual.
Christ didn’t literally rip his flesh off and pour out his blood for his disciples to eat and drink, it says so right in the Bible.
It couldn’t be more simple to understand, yet folks continue to argue it. Blows my mind!!
Did you know that until the reformation all christians believed in the real presence in the Eucharist?

King Henry was even awarded "Defender of the Faith" for his position on the Eucharist
All Christians were originally Catholic.
I prefer to say something more like.... the apostles and early christians shared the beliefs of today's practicing catholics.
I know of many who didn't both before and after the Reformation and their throats were slit because of it.
They were deemed to be heretics and there were entire villages which were slaughtered in the name of the Bread God.
I mean, they were by definition heretics lol, not saying killing them was right but they definitely were.
Hebrews 10:12
But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;
No need for further sacrifices, and that's not a heretical statement, but rather a Biblical statement.

I point this out all the time.
