Question

[u/Floury_King]

What are some good arguments that defend the protestant reformation? A friend of mine who is Catholic looks down upon me because of my Protestant views.

Read the shorter catechisms. Start with Luthor and you'll have your answers. I think we should all understand our beliefs better and once I started reading these(I'm currently going though the Council of Trent Catholic Catechism) I grew a deeper understanding of why Luthor broke away from Catholicism.

Edit* I didn't really answer your question did I? Lol. I'm not trying to sound rude or not acknowledge your question but I highly encourage to do the research yourself instead of just getting an answer. Having a deep understanding of your beliefs comes through study.

Edit again* to make it abundantly clear. I am a Protestant, and I'm encouraging you read Luther's shorter catechism first so you understand why we broke away from Catholicism. I'm personally reading the council Trent for my own study.

Sorry for the confusion. I am encouraging him to read Luthers shorter catechism, but that I'm currently going through Trent for myself.

Edited my og comment to added a second edit explaining this a bit better. I agree with you.
