There is also a long line of Protestant revisionist history

I am not Protestant. I owe no allegiance to the Roman Catholic Church. I have no dog in the fight between "Protestants" and "Catholics" other than to chuckle at the blatant revisionism on the part of Catholicism because so much of its history is indefensible.

My source for history is not the group defending itself. Maybe to be more objective you should try reading some real history.

I suppose look to Britain for the most accurate portrayal of the Revolutionary War? Or to Russia for the most accurate portrayal of the Space Race? You'll find their accounts of history are quite different than ours. In so far as history is a written account of the subjective experience of men, there is no such thing as "objective" history.

So, you're completely disregarding the entire article and everything contained therein because its from a Catholic source? Would you care to address points in the article with your own counterpoints from your wealth of "objective" Catholic history?
