Common trope from the likes of Brad S. Gregory, but it's not true. More counter-reformation propaganda. Fact remains that Augustinus Totum Nostrus Est...Papacy anathematized themselves with Trent (see Paul's Epistle to the Galatians).
Discussion
I'm going to ask Chat GPT to summarize this into one sentence
He may have been correct then, but he's wrong now.
...has Trent been repealed?
The gospel is the same now as it was then.
I recently came across this: Michael Horton reviews Brad Gregory's [Unintended Reformation](https://www.thegospelcoalition.org/reviews/the-unintended-reformation/) -- it's worth a look for the opposing view (which I take).
Either way, cheers #pleb - and Merry Christmas!
