Just got to my hotel. I see Trump boomers all over the place. In the restaurants, in the hotel, in the lobby, in the CVS, on the road, at the gas station, at the bar, in the mall, on the street. Everywhere!

Um... hon... who told you that? Was it the same person who told you that socialism and communism are okay? The Church saved and copied the books. The Church even saved the witches from the witchfearing laypeople, most of the time. Witchburning and bookburning largely happened in Protestant areas, sad to say. (Although bookburning as a policy came from pagan Roman law, actually. It's what you did to seditious books, or harmful magic books, or books on astrology predicting what would happen to the Emperor.)
Because the Catholic Church's continued existence was inconvenient for the UK government back in the day, there's a model of history that was promoted that is called "the black legend." Then there's another version which is mostly the same thing, which is called "the whig model."
The Catholic Church had its problems, and Protestant religion had reasons that people liked it. But the rise of Protestant kingdoms was all about Protestant kings having an easier time grabbing monastery and church property, or the properties of dissidents, and then redistributing them to their buddies and minions. (Although kings like Philip the Fair of France had already been doing that, to the Templars and the Cistercians.)
You do realize the current pope is an actual commie, godless piece of shit right?
Yes and, despite that, the gates of hell shall NEVER prevail against the Church.
Sure, but the Catholic church isn't necessarily "the church". Catholic congregations are full of faggotry and communism (sure not all). The Catholic church seems to have lost the plot imo. Plenty of other christian denominations with a better idea of whats going on. Local Baptist preacher here would like to see his congregation dragging the traitors out and hanging them tomorrow, for example.
I believe it rose quickly because it showed that God's grace was available by faith. People could know God without having to go through a priest or Pope, making God accessible to everyone. This came when the Catholic church was a less accessible institution.
