Protestantism must unite against the secular government, otherwise, Christianity will perish, and so will humanity.

In the colony’s early days, because the civil chief was also a devout Puritan and the promoter of building the city of God, the civil chief could intervene in religious affairs, the fatal defect of the Puritans’ opposing any authority, lacking in unity did not show. However, another situation emerged with social development. Politics and religion were gradually separated, and American society became more and more secular. Many civil officers were not Christians or even antichrists; they could not and would not be involved in religious affairs, coordinated the church conflicts, and solved the internal contradictions of the church. Therefore, the lethality of the Christian church’s lack of unity turned out. Because of the lack of authoritative religious meetings, the Native American sects derived from Puritanism, such as Baptist Church and Congregational Church, could only solve the disputes of doctrines and organizations through division once and again. Endless division and dispute upset people, and the church was never at peace. Even such an American proverb came into existence: “quarrel like Baptist society,” so people longed to return to a peaceful life under authority. For these, Fromm profoundly pointed out in “Escape from Freedom” that people evade freedom because they are tired of freedom, and people feel that the benefits of freedom to life are less than the incidental annoyance. This also explains why Catholicism is thriving in the United States today. Catholicism provides people with a kind of authority and a peaceful life, which exactly any Protestant sect does not own. The Catholic Church still insists on the idea of papal infallibility, which may be puzzled by many people, but the papal infallibility does maintain the authority of the Pope and the peace of the Catholic world. Of course, I personally think that the idea of papal infallibility is exceedingly absurd, but people ultimately have to choose this absurdity. It can only be said it is an extremely helpless behavior because, In the hundreds of years of practice of Protestantism after Luther, people have failed to find tranquility and peace in the new church. Why is this so? Because based on the Protestant doctrine, there is no hierarchy such as cardinals, archbishops, and bishops, and no power center such as the Pope. It encourages free thought and freedom of conscience, but it is indeed difficult to form authority, and It will inevitably bring about the different understandings of the “Bible”, various knowledge in doctrine and organization. Protestantism can only divide indefinitely. It is indeed regrettable to come to such a conclusion, but these are already fait accompli. And no one can avoid it; you can only face and overcome it. In my own understanding of the Bible, The Christian world should defy Catholicism and the Pope’s hierarchy. I profoundly disagree with Catholicism’s hierarchy, nor do I agree with worldly Christianity having a supreme authority–the Pope. Any so-called supreme authority is dangerous because his human nature is greedy and deprived no matter who. The supreme authority of mortality will put the world at significant risk. I think the Protestant ideas of independence, freedom, and equality are the essence of humans and the ultimate direction of humans. I don’t know whether Jesus will return to the earth and complete the last judgment. Still, I believe that all people are equal, freedom, and perfectly free and easy, living happily and blessedly, and it should be the ultimate goal of human society. I also believe that the closer humans approach this ultimate goal, the more possible humans return to heaven. The closer to this goal, the closer to humans completing the purgatory on earth.

How can we unite the various new sects? According to human experience, there is only one way to unite the scattered Protestant sects, resisting the common enemy, the US government. Just like in the Bible, only an invasion of foreign enemies can spark the birth of a civil chief uniting people to defeat the invaders. The United States government, the common enemy of all Protestant sects, has constantly infringed on the traditional fields and rights of the church. And only fighting against this common enemy can reunite all Protestant sects. And we must be united, must produce cohesive influential leaders to form an organization and a power center against the United States government. Let’s call it the Protestant Union for the moment. Through this Protestant Union and the fighting against the common enemy of the US government, the scattered brotherly love and brotherhood will be reconstituted, so the Protestant church can unite and unite forever. The US government will always exist, so the struggle between the Protestant church and the US government will also exist forever. Only in front of the common enemy can we try to reduce the disputes and quarrels between us, reach a consensus as far as possible, have a quiet and peaceful life as far as possible, and make the society better as far as possible.

At the same time, the Protestant Union should not discuss the doctrines. The discussion of doctrines will never form a consensus and only cause division. In this world, humans’ understanding of the Bible can only be described as blind people guessing the elephant. Because of original sin and deformity, humans can not fully understand the Bible; just like blind people touching the elephant, we can only understand parts of the Bible. Therefore, the Protestant Union should prohibit the discussion of doctrines. Its purpose should be clear, that is, to fight the government to the end, regain the rights originally belonging to the church, and limit the functions of the American government to the minimum. It is not only for the Protestant church but also for American society’s long-term stability and prosperity. The Protestant Union can organize various long-term activities to safeguard the authority of the Constitution and religious freedom through various academic seminars, legal channels, legal assemblies, processions, sermons, speeches, etc. The main basis for the struggle is to interpret the Constitution with historical facts and defend the religious freedom granted by the first amendment of the Constitution, objecting to the current general interpretation of the Constitution in empty and abstract rationality, which is actually fabricating and forging the Constitution. The Constitution is based on historical facts, so it must be interpreted with historical facts; it is a very rational and persuasive method. I believe that after a long period of struggle, we can get the support of most Americans.

In the specific targets, the Protestant union must, in any case, regain the power to supervise the American government, which guarantees the rights of the Christian Church. At the same time, it must obtain the dominating power of marriage and education, monogamy, the marriage of a man and a woman, and Christians’ right to educate their children. All these are sacred and solemn; It is also the rights the Bible gives to Christians clearly. Every Christian must defend them with his life. These are rights that can never be ignored. Secondly, on behalf of every Christian and for the stability and prosperity of American society, the Christian Church must also obtain the control and management of charitable welfare and medical services. And to reduce legal costs, build a really fair and just society, struggle for judicial power, establish a legal mediation room of the Christian Church, and mediate small cases such as economic disputes among Christians. This is also a very feasible short-term goal. Through these, we can completely limit the power of the American government, form a governance pattern of big society and small government, and try our best to realize equality for all, so that human beings can live freely and happily without exploitation and oppression and approach the ultimate goal of human beings.

So people are eager to return to a quiet life under authority. For these, Fromm points out deeply in escape freedom that people escape freedom because they are tired of freedom, and people feel that the benefits of freedom to life are less than the accompanying annoyance. This also explains why Catholicism is thriving in the United States today, which provides people with authority, a peaceful way of life, which is exactly what no Protestant faction has. The Catholic Church still insists on the theory of “the Pope” and many people may not understand it. But it does maintain the authority of the Pope and the peace of the Catholic world. Of course, I personally think that Pope metaphor is extremely absurd, but people have to choose this kind of absurd, which can only be said to be an extremely helpless behavior, because, in the hundreds of years of practice of Protestantism after Luther, people have been unable to find peace and peace in the new church. Why is that? Because according to the Protestant doctrine, there is no hierarchy of cardinal, archbishop and bishop, and there is no power center like Pope, which is really difficult to form authority. Moreover, it is inevitable that the new religion can be divided indefinitely due to the encouragement of freedom of thought and freedom of conscience, which inevitably leads to different understandings of the Bible, and disputes in various doctrines and organizations. It is indeed a sad conclusion, but these are already facts, and no one can avoid it. We can only face the overcoming and never let the Christian world unify in the Catholic and Pope hierarchy. With my personal understanding of the Bible, I do not think deeply about the Catholic hierarchy, nor agree with the world of Christianity. There is a supreme authority – Pope, any so-called supreme authority is dangerous because no matter who is greedy and degenerated, giving the highest authority to all people will put the world in great danger. I think the idea of Protestantism, independence, freedom, and equality is the essence of human beings and the ultimate direction of mankind.
