America is a hotbed for Protestantism because it was founded on rebellion. The mantra of America’s soul is “stop telling me what to do”. Even reading this some will get excited and say “Yes! That’s us.”, but pride didn’t work out for the fallen angels and it won’t for us either.

I agree with Protestants that Scripture contains all that is necessary for Salvation. It tells you the Church is the pillar of truth (1 Tim 3:15), not to hear different gospels (Gal 1:8-9) and to adhere to the tradition taught by the Apostles by word or by letter (2 Thess 2:15).

Do you know why every Christian believes the Trinity? It isn’t because the Bible plainly lays it out. The Church discerned it, guided by God, following tradition of the Apostles. Mary also remained a perpetual virgin. Your weekly Bible study hasn’t discovered anything new.
