Catholicism offers confession and forgiveness. It also offers a community, while protestantism offers individualism.
on the whole, catholicism is far more watered down now compared to protestantism
and one of luther's motivations for criticising the RCC was the intense guilt he experienced as a result of the RCC's doctrines (which he knew better than most, as he was an augistinian friar), which caused him to spend up to six hours a day in confession. how do you think they were able to scam so many people for indulgences at that time?
