Farewel happy Fields
Where Joy for ever dwells: Hail horrours, hail
Infernal world, and thou profoundest Hell
Receive thy new Possessor: One who brings
A mind not to be chang'd by Place or Time.
The mind is its own place, and in it self
Can make a Heav'n of Hell, a Hell of Heav'n.
What matter where, if I be still the same,
And what I should be, all but less then he
Whom Thunder hath made greater? Here at least
We shall be free; th' Almighty hath not built
Here for his envy, will not drive us hence:
Here we may reign secure, and in my choyce
To reign is worth ambition though in Hell:
Better to reign in Hell, then serve in Heav'n.
But wherefore let we then our faithful friends,
Th' associates and copartners of our loss
Lye thus astonisht on th' oblivious Pool,
And call them not to share with us their part
In this unhappy Mansion, or once more
With rallied Arms to try what may be yet
Regaind in Heav'n, or what more lost in Hell?

Wait a minute, Milton wasn't Catholic.

Milton was rather infamously anti-Catholic, he was a staunch Protestant.

Is OP a retard?

>>17036892
How? Please explain

>>17036892
bruh pls explain

>>17035126
Milton was a Protestant, you frogposting retard.

Ok we have Dante then

Catholics have no one because they're the fastest dying religion in the world and literally don't exist if you only look at people under 30. Evangelicals will be the sole heirs to all christendom because they will be all that exists by 2050.

>what do protestants have
Mental illness

>>17035126
homer was a t*rk

>>17036892

Such a shame. I wanted them to stop their proselitism in my country. They're an alien religion in this soil.

>>17037299
Catholicism drops as IQ does the same in the West. Mongrelized hordes of evangelicals shouting Christian trap in megachurches is the future we deserve.

>>17037299
I feel bad for my Cath-bros. It seems they've all been pushed away from faith by the overly legalistic/ritualistic ways of the current Catholic church.
Say what you will about Prots, but outside of very cherrypicked examples of some tiny (but squeaky) denominations that preach heresy and the general corruption of modern society, they sure do make Christianity approachable, for better or worse.

>>17038024
Naah man, they preach prosperity. They get them by the greed. Plus, Catholicism "allow" to be a crypto-pagan.
In fact, I just want you protestant fuckers and your mega-churches to get out of my country. Dammed anglos, man. They ruin EVERYTHING everytime.

the absolute state of this guy

Honestly made me crack up, good job OP

>>17035126
Milton was a protestant zealot. He dunks on the Catholic church at every opportunity in paradise lost. He openly mocks transubstantiation, one of the key tenets of Catholicism.
I'm Catholic and even I'm willing to admit it.

This comment proves Christians are hylic
>>17037684
The higher IQ parts of Europe turned Protestant centuries ago, stop coping
Christianity is a religion for mongrelized hordes

can someone give a detailed run down on why prots are so cringe? my best friend is a prot and i cant for the life of me pin it down, despite it being intuitively true.
I'm guessing it's my lack of research into the different denominations, but I'm only just starting to delve into Christianity.

>>17039659
their whole philosophy is a highly distilled form of autism that has been refined over hundreds of years

>>17035126
Yeats and Kirkegaard are the only one I can think of off the top of my head :^)

>>17039659
Protestantism has no legitimate spirituality. It's just bloated emotionalism dressed up as a transcendent experience.

>>17041233
Did anyone have the actual pick or just the thumbnail

really christians have basically anything composed after 300ad and before 1800ad

>>17037299
Christendom is fucking doomed.
