they never did any of that against copernicus though, and the decision to try him can't be understood without the tensions around the reformation/counterreformation. like it was all roughly coterminous with the thirty year's war. and its main effect was to humiliate the church before the protestants

Would honesty love to read a piece about polyamory in post-counterreformation France, Italy and Spain.
Fighting 20-40 years over the sanctity and sanctioning of marriage and sacraments in Christianity - only to be like "oh well - if only we're Catholics and confess, it will be alright"

Lol, just like I said.
Jesus taught about forgiveness, acceptance, sharing, respect. Yet noone sane claims that crusades, counterreformation or bloody witch hunting were commited by non-christians, cause they were against the holy scriptures.

WOKE COUNTERREFORMATION NOW!
As a staunch critic of the Catholic Church: the Protestant Reformation has been a disaster for mankind and Martin Luther should be rendered damnatio memoriae.

harvey kwiyani’s recent book entitled decolonizing mission really emphasizes the importance of the fall of Constantinople to so much of the history that followed—discovery, mission, colonialism, counterreformation. i had never had those dots connected

“One of the chants that has become ubiquitous at these protests at Broadview is, ‘Love your neighbor, love your God, save your soul and quit your job,’” said Black, who pastors at the First Presbyterian Church of Chicago. “Everybody chants that.” ⚓️
Wanna learn more about the pastor in this photo?
I talked to him yesterday.
He's currently part of a lawsuit against DHS, in part due to this exact moment: religionnews.com/2025/10/07/i...

ive said it before and i'll say it again, the most effective PR in history was the Counterreformation-era apologists who somehow managed to convinced Protestants at scale that Rome holds the monopoly on being Catholic, a perspective which is barely starting to change

this is why I need to be pope! the world so badly needs a woke counterreformation!
I think there's something deeply socially corrosive about this American evangelical worldview that says that the things you do and say are less important than your person relationship with God such that it's possible to be a bigot while nuturing a decent human within.

The counterreformation to the New Historians, so to speak, is that the Nakba happened but was not preplanned before Plan Dalet; the evidence Morris used to argue it was preplanned turned out to be based on missing a negative in Ben Gurion's chicken scratch, and Morris conceded the error.
