I know little of Roman Catholicism except what history teaches. And their brutal history doesn’t reflect on them very well.

You learn something every day.

“You do realize that while there is an occasional use of the word gnostic to denote those who have true knowledge of God, the predominant use of the word, particularly with a capital G in English, denotes the broad species of early heresies which claimed “secret knowledge” of the divine beyond (and often contrary to) the Church’s publicly proclaimed Faith. (And this is so early that there was only one identifiable Church, still undergoing persecution by the pagan Roman authorities.)”
