Are Lutherans catholic? I went to church a few times with my cousins years and years ago, and they were Lutheran. I snagged communion with them once, my aunt was so mad…
Lutherans too? Damn, that’s wild. I completely misspoke out of ignorance. I thought it was well-known and established that it was a catholic thing alone.
Lutherans would consider themselves Catholic for the most part; Roman Catholics would not.
Catholic just means “universal” though… at least when it’s lower case. Which is why most denominations will recite the creed and say they believe in the catholic church — which is a totally different thing from the Roman Catholic Church.
Yeah; he was also a Catholic. He wasn’t protesting against the Catholic Church, he was protesting against the corruption within the church. He was a reformer, not a detractor.
Really? That’s new information to me! Wow, just when you thought you knew a thing you find out you don’t. Are there any others that do the transubstantiating crackers?
Honestly, I’m not sure. You might still be partly right, though.
The Anglican church originated from the Church of England which was created by (the formerly Catholic) Henry VIII, when the Pope wouldn’t annul his marriage to Catherine of Aragon.
Just evidence, as always, of religion being used to further a powerful person’s agenda.
yup.
That’s Catholics.

Umm I thought Martin Luther was like, the original protestant.
Yeah; he was also a Catholic. He wasn’t protesting against the Catholic Church, he was protesting against the corruption within the church. He was a reformer, not a detractor.
No, it’s not just Catholics who take communion.

Who are Christians.
Sure, but I was pointing out that not all christians, just the ones on that team.
A point of debate for many Christians.
But only the Catholics believe in transubstantiation, so only they are cannibals because only they believe that they are literally eating his body
All other Christians see communion as symbolic, and therefore are not cannibals.
Well symbolic cannibals
The only way to solve this is violent bloody war
You really just need one Catholic for a post communion dissection.
