Would you prefer to go to war against a large, dispersed, but co-ordinated, formidable enemy with:
1. A large, dispersed, uncoordinated force of irregulars, whose skills range from decent to absolute disaster and no real distinction or organisation between them, or,
2. A small but professional band of skilled special ops personnel.
Think about it for a bit.
Then tell me why on Earth you think Protestantism will ever “rebuild” civilisation.
It was instrumental in destroying it, it certainly can’t be instrumental in creating it. Any Christianity that America ever had was always just a borrowed and perverted version of actual Christianity and the inevitable degradation of it to current levels was absolutely inevitable.
Sedevacantists may be few in number (comparatively speaking, they are in the hundreds of thousands and growing, if not low millions) but they are actually coherent and they do co-ordinate. And they have a proven track record of some 2,000 years (i.e. actual Catholicism).
Russia is currently doing well, because like Catholicism they can lay at least a theoretical claim to being there from the start (they were) and having continuity of apostolic succession (very doubtful as all Russian Orthodox bishops and metropolitans were appointed by the Soviet state in order for them to remain in line with party politics). Their theological differences from Catholicism are in essence minor and even reconciled up to about 600 years ago (the council of Florence). The fact they are schismatics is obviously relevant in the larger scheme of things, but their level of coherence and co-operation, though inevitably flawed and ultimately doomed to failure on a long enough timeline —-unless they rejoin the true church at some future point—- remains orders of magnitude superior to any such pretence by ANY of the 40,000+ Protestant denominations.
Riding out the economic crash that is coming, the predations by those who orchestrated it and their enforcers, will not fare well under the loose banner of Protestantism.
The idea that all you need is a generic “I’m a Christ follower” is enough to see you through, is the military equivalent of going to war with guys who pass themselves off as special operations guys because they once held a gun in a gun shop and considered buying it.
It will not fare well. Especially when compared to a tradition that has as its living truth, the putting together of the Bible, the martyred Saints, the crusades, the infallibility of the official pronouncements of the valid Popes, accepted by all for over a thousand years before the schism and even centuries later, reconciled as true even by the schismatics. The creation of the scientific method, the understanding that logic and reason are part of faith (which is precisely why it was Catholic monks that essentially invented the scientific method), a concept expressly rejected by Protestants, and all of the essential truths and sacraments of Christianity from the very first.
If you are simply objective enough to put aside the lies you were raised with, and investigate actual Catholicism honestly, starting at the beginning, you will inevitably see how any other option is woefully inadequate.
And even at a basic secular level, you can see why even a corrupted and now detached splinter group like the Eastern “Orthodox” will (and is) faring better than most, simply due to the ancient truths that still hold a heavy weight over it. Ancient truths that are simply non existent in Protestantism, or worse, replaced with flat out lies.
Don’t take my word for it, I mean, sure, you can read the two books I wrote on it and save yourself a lot of time because I always give you the references so you can verify it for yourself, but honestly, I don’t care how you go about it; I’d just really like for you to actually study the origins of Christianity. Go read the works of the Patristic fathers from the first 200 years after the ascension of Christ, then go on and try and reconcile that with ANY form of Protestantism.
It’s not even about your ego or you feeling stupid, we have ALL been lied to from birth, but as we are told:
Seek, and ye shall find.
Isn’t it about time you started doing some seeking though? Cause the saying is not: sit on your ever expanding arse and it will drop in your lap.
Basic errors of strategy
