Luther was big on bashing them. Wdym??

He was influenced by the Talmud, even if not as outright jewed up as Zwingli and Calvin. The whole idea of everyone making their own biblical interpretation and polemicizing against the traditional interpretation which is kept unchanged within the Church is talmudic.

Once you understand this you will understand who stood behind the Reformation and why the main cities it originated from had a very strong jewish presence (Geneva, Prague, Zurich).

iconoclasm bad

Because it runs contrary to the Christian tradition which affirms icons as story telling devices and representation of angles, saints and of God. Iconoclasm is the innovation, not the other way around.

How so? Is idolizing men and dead people any better?

Strawman. We don't idolize or worship the saints, we venerate them. Protestants tend to think of the Bible as God-sent as if it were not a product of the tradition set up by Christ and compiled by the Church fathers you go against.

If a catholic family member dies can you ask them for 400 gorillion things too?

You can ask him for intercession if he were recognized as a saint, yes.

The Church refers to THE WHOLE Body of Christ. ALL

It is the body of Christ but just like His body, it exists historically and physically in our world, it's not just an abstraction. At the last supper, Christ said one has to eat His flesh and drink His blood, to be in communion with His living body, to gain eternal life.

Saved people are a part of the Church.

How do you know who is saved? It's the other way around - those within the Church, which is the Ark of salvation and God's Kingdom on Earth, are saved. The rest drown with the flood.

By the Biblical definition, most self proclaimed catholics are ironically and sadly not part of the Church.

They are not, because Rome seceded from the Orthodox Catholic Church in 1054.

What one is most consistent with the rest of the Bible? Whatever evidence most supports an interpretation? That interpretation is likelist to be true. Humans are irrational and silly and blinded by sin rather than logical so ofc they won't know this.

Every text is subject to interpretation. Interpretation is not "evidence based", it is context dependent. You can use reason and consistently reach to the wrong conclusions if your premises are wrong. This is why protestantism is not a wholistic tradition but a multiplicity of thousands of different takes on just about any verse in the Bible (including the Bible canon itself, which they take for granted yet it is not self-evident which books and translations are authoritative).

Like purgatory?

Correct. Purgatory is Vatican's fiction (although I enjoyed Dante).

Remember "the first shall be last and the last shall be first"?

This is taken out of context obviously.

Note: Also, very VERY fitting that someone defending catholicism also defends censorship. Pea one, Pea two, meet Pod.

I'm Orthodox but it's the same to you I suppose. I'm against suppression of truth. What I'm not against is suppression and eradication of lies and I believe this is consistent with the Christian faith. The difference between truth and lie is life and death, between God and Satan.

God doesn't tolerate untruth and neither should you. If that means burning books and jailing authors of dangerous deceptions, so be it. I stand by my conviction.
