unusual post for this blog but i was doing reading for history courses and this one Archbishop in Scotland tied a protestant reformer with BAGS OF GUNPOWDER to the stake before burning him which prompted me to make this

Tired of sci-fi alternate histories where the Nazis won. Has anyone ever written an alternate history where the Protestant Reformation never happened?

#Can you even imagine American culture without puritanism and the calvinist work ethic? #Opening scene Martin Luther on the way to nail his thesis to the door but he trips and is trampled by a horse #cut to 500 years later #We have now reached the limits of my knowledge #Christianity #catholicism #protestant #Martin luther #calvinism #protestant reformation #post o' mine #Alternate history

On 29 February 1528 - Scottish Reformer Patrick Hamilton was burned at the stake. Having earlier travelling to Europe, where he met several of the leading reformed thinkers, Patrick returned to Scotland to preach. He was tried as a heretic by Archbishop James Beaton, found guilty and handed over to secular authorities to be burnt at the stake in St Andrews as Scotland's first martyr of the Reformation.

Saint Margaret Clitherow who was crushed to death by English authorities, while pregnant, for hiding a Catholic priest. She even refused to enter a plea so that her children would not be subject to torture and forced to testify in a trial.

This is the pulpit of St. Mary's, Helmingham, where J.C. Ryle ministered for 17 years.

He personally selected the text painted there: "Woe is unto me if I preach not the Gospel."

“I am firmly convinced that the Reformation of the sixteenth century was as near as any mortal thing can come to an unmixed evil. Even the parts of it that might appear plausible and enlightened, from a purely secular standpoint, have turned out rotten and reactionary, also from a purely secular standpoint. By substituting the Bible for the Sacrament it created a pedantic caste of those who could read, superstitiously identified with those who could think. By destroying the monks, it took social work from the poor philanthropists who chose to deny themselves, and gave it to any rich philanthropists who chose to assert themselves. By preaching individualism while preserving inequality, it produced modern capitalism. It destroyed the only League of Nations that ever had a chance; it produced the worst wars of nations that ever existed […] It produced the most efficient form of Protestantism, which was Prussia. It is [re]producing the worst part of paganism, which is slavery.”

— G.K. Chesterton

I’m intrigued that in the game Timberborn, I can build shrines and temples to fulfill my beavers’ religious needs, and later on I can also build paper mills and a printing press to fulfill their knowledge needs. So, theoretically, my post-apocalyptic sentient beaver civilization can have a protestant reformation and subsequent beaver inquisition

"Protestantism has only been around for a couple of decades" is a WILD take.

Late diet of wormsposting 🐛🍝 bc i was fighting for my life now ft bad poetry. Full poem below the cut 💀 cw religious trauma and the usual suspects

"Plus Ultra"

Pariah but raised Protestant I learnt to read the moniker at face value Raised to place Luther Revolutionary against institution On a pedestal By my fire-and-brimstone preacher

Denouncing the foundations of my being Draped in priestly black He is big and brash and bullying Has a cult following Bellowing across the pulpit Whilst I try to block it out

This rebel accused Is not eloquent or commanding Like the one I thought I was 500 years ago Called to defend myself on the stand.

How the tables have turned against us. Too messy to be 'Holy' Too obscure to be 'Roman' Always being told to close my mouth Hanging open like I have something to say but no words come out I am the Emperor A newly licensed adult Skin and bone in feathered hat and flamboyant fur I look so small.

The enemy in every retelling Ugly as sin Only too easy to cast as boogeyman Too easy to distance from and turn against Lord knows what happens to those who sit with the transgressors Lest this unsightliness might be contagious.

But Charles the Fifth is not the villain in his own story And this is not how I will go down in my history.

You will nail your theses, but I'll throw them out my door No portrait can make this identity palatable but I no longer wish to be painted out I will push further, beyond I have fought to keep my crown You will not take away my legitimacy This intersectional birthright is my God-given blessing And this empire I have built from ground up is holy

So I'm done weighing all the doubts I do myself justice And sentence you heretic on my promised land.

#This lads is why im a th*mas thorne girlie. I have ALWAYS been a Cringe writer/poet #This is about my old church and asshole pastor btw 🤡✌️ #charles v #martin luther #Diet of worms #emperor charles v #16th century #protestant reformation #And yea this is a reuse of old art but this is my coming out as a wr*ter #Anyway this has been sitting in my notes app for two years?

I'm sorry, but we just don't get enough blatant, capital-R Reformation for the Jedi. The premise of "being weirdly strict and hypocritical is really the bigger sin" and "actually, priests should be allowed to marry" is already right there.

Like, give me some Martin Luke-r. You're already rebuilding the order. I'm sure the schools on Tatooine sucked, but Leia and Han would absolutely help you write 95 reasons the Jedi messed up.

Happy Halloween to all my fellow Christians out there!

On this day 506 years ago, a university professor named Martin Luther dropped a letter in the mail - a letter we know as the 95 Theses - and unintentionally started the Protestant Reformation. 

A holiday we know for its costumes and candy became the day that gave birth to the churches we attend each Sunday - Lutheran, Anglican, Episcopal, Presbyterian, Reformed, Methodist, Baptist, and Pentecostal. 

In October of 2020, while many cities, towns, and neighborhoods were debating whether or not to even have trick-or-treating, it was our churches that saved Halloween - by having drive through trick-or-treating and trunk-or-treats. 

While it is tempting to write off Halloween as a day that belongs to witches, ghosts, darkness, and Satan, nothing could be further from the truth - Psalms 118:24 still stands true - even on Halloween. 

“This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.” 

Don’t join the witches in their dancing and incantations - Don’t join the demons in their prideful revelry and drunkenness. 

You and I have more important things to do - Let’s get busy rejoicing. 

The only ghost that Halloween belongs to is the Holy Ghost.
