The idea that the Protestant Reformation was a looting operation is a load of pure nonsense. The idea that Henry VIII choosing to break communion only to then seize wealth that was held jointly by the English RCC and the crown is not necessarily out of desire to plunder it for private profit, but rather to redistribute it to the newly established church, something well within his rights as monarch with an established religion. This isn't looting. Looting implies something like the Viking sack of Lindisfarne with the slaughter and the private enrichment involved.
Protestant theology is wrong, imo.
Why exactly? I am eager to address any criticisms you might have.
Too extensive to begin at this time.
Of course it's wrong, it's a schism that came out of another schism. Every protestant wants to be his own Pope. Christianity does not work outside of the church and without Holy Communion, period.

Church property was not "jointly held" by the Church and the Crown (and even if it had been, Henry VIII would have had no right to unilaterally claim it for himself and his clique of friends).
If you believe that the English Reformation did not involve "slaughter" or "private enrichment", then you are very unfamiliar not only with Reformation history, but also with the history of the expansion of globalism, which continues to this day.
Who cares really, the Catholic Church looted and extorted much of the wealth in the first place many times under false pretences. Wealth that should have been distributed to the poor had they been following Jesus's example. Protestantism worked relatively well for centuries, with a theology in closer accordance with the Bible. Catholicism's precedents and centralisation of authority have made it harder to subvert its theology, but as the current pope demonstrates it is now being subverted by the left and the globalists very rapidly and in 50 years will likely be much worse than many protestant churches. Eastern Orthodoxy will likely prove the most resistant, but ultimately all churches all flawed man made constructs. Not till Jesus returns will there be a perfect church.
Become Orthodox and all your problems will be solved. And this is a Catholic speaking. I abhor Francis as much as you.I don't believe that every Protestant wants to be his own Pope. I just think that most Protestants don't want to risk having a pope who equates the participants of the George Floyd riots with the Good Samaritan.
Pope Francis Compares George Floyd To Biblical 'Good Samaritan,' Praises BLM Rioters For Being 'Social Poets'
Catholic figurehead explicitly praised left-wing racial extremists
Indeed. The traditional Protestant narrative of British Reformation was that it was beneficial and allowed the nation to throw of the shackles of the superstition that it had been held under by Roman Catholicism. The book A History of the Protestant Reformation in England and Ireland is essential reading for anyone wishing to find out about a different viewpoint of the Protestant “reformation” that swept through the British Isles nearly 500 years ago. Written in the 1830s by William Cobbett, an English Protestant, it demonstrates that rather than being something supported by the entire population it was in fact an event that caused great distress, tension and even bloodshed. It demolishes many preconceived notions of the reformation and thoroughly explains how rather than liberating the people this act “impoverished and degraded the main body of the people.”
The only way is to order direct from Culture Wars, and pay a huge postage fee, AFAIK. Unless you can find a second hand copy on a site like bookfinder.com
Look for a translated version of his book in the target country if you understand the language. I was able to pick up Libido Dominandi in Polish for 15 bucks. Barren Metal was expensive as hell to get hold of. The most expensive book I've ever bought. Still worth it.
