  1. The painting is called *Fishing for Souls* and was painted by Adriaen van de Venne in 1614.

    The group of people on the left side are protestants with their patrons, the princes of Orange, Maurice and Frederick Henry, Frederick V of the Palatinate, Christian IV of Denmark, James I of England and a youthful Louis XIII of France with his mother, Marie de’ Medici.

    The group of people on the right are catholics with their patrons, Albert and Isabella, general Ambrosio Spinola and the pope being carried by cardinals.

  3. Like our rebels of old said: “I’d rather even be Turkish than Papish”. And I stand by it.

  4. Easy choice:

    Protestants: England, Netherlands and Denmark. All severely uncool countries.

    Catholics: Portugal, Spain and Italy. That’s a group of countries that know how to enjoy life.

  5. “*Protestants – None of that Popey shite, just get on with worshipping the big G upstairs”*

    “*Catholics – We have to carry the pope on our shoulders and build a big fuck off city in the middle of Italy to be close to the big G”*

    Can see why ol Henry was keen to demolish the Catholic church out of England.

  6. The ultimate divide should be people who believe in fairy tales and normal well developed people who know it’s all bollocks and live their life accordingly.

  10. How about we Europeans just flat out reject this Asian desert cult that was imposed on us by violence and coercion? Reject it in whatever form it presents itself.

  12. Protestants are bunch of sad, ignorant, workaholic, alcoholic wife-beaters that belive in predestination _sola fide_ (cringe), eat shit and live empty lives.

    Catholics are a cultured, smarter, more artistic, brillant bunch of chads that carried european art, philosophy, literature, culture and civilization for most of the history of our continent and eat proper food. No wonder that the catholic church is basically ctulhu compared to the small and irrelevant hundreds of protestant Churches.

  14. Protestantism was something needed at the time because the pope selling salvation is bad and people reading the bible in their language is good.

    BUT!!!!

    There is something Protestantism lacks. And that thing is style. Because you enter a catholic cathedral and the underwear falls. What would it be of Warhammer 40k or Anime without Catholicism?

    Also, protestant food is tasteless because again, they have no style.

  16. Catholic food: Delicious, artistic, made with love, fresh and tasty ingredients

    Protestant food: Slop, beans on toast, pickled herring, a type of food that gets invented during a famine

  25. This painting is OG 2WE4U banter, I give it two heterosexual Greeks and a Belgian intellectual.

  29. Protestants are just confused Catholics, the real divide since 1054 is Catholic vs Orthodox.
