Key Notes
Jiang frames Catholicism as orthodoxy, hierarchy, and justification by works, and Protestantism as direct access, egalitarianism, and justification by faith.
Jiang says official Catholic teaching treats the Church as the millennium or messianic age and emphasizes personal salvation under Church guidance rather than a literal political end-times program.
He reads J.D. Vance's Catholic conversion and an American pope as non-coincidental signs of a larger Catholic plan in the United States.
He speculates that some Catholic fanatics may want a Second American Civil War because Catholics would be positioned to capture the American state after institutional collapse.
Jiang contrasts Protestant salvation by elect wealth/work, Catholic forgiveness through obedience, and Orthodox dependence on God's mercy because the heart is too dark and mysterious for human redemption.
The Church of England differs from Catholicism, in Jiang's account, only by loyalty: Catholic authority goes to the pope, Anglican authority to the English king.
English religious factions are mapped onto class power: middle-class reformers support Protestant change, many nobles remain Catholic, and the king is treated as Catholic-sympathetic.
