The Catholic Church Built Western Civilization | Duke Pesta and Stefan Molyneux

[Arthur McGowan]

What was the role of the Catholic Church in building Western Civilization? While the typical mainstream narrative depicts the church as hostile to science and philosophy, it appears that once again the truth about history has been stolen from us. Dr. Duke Pesta joins Stefan Molyneux to discuss the unspoken truth about the impact of the Catholic church on scientific inquiry, philosophy and Western Civilization overall.

And murdered Bruno.

Bzyantium created Western Civilzation

Western Civilization rose and fell with Atlantis.

when the West becomes civilized, we will thank the Church

And virtually every single predominantly Catholic country in this world is a third world hell hole.

Look at their economies and standard of living. And the superstition and syncretism rife in their religious practices.

The Protestant work ethic got it’s name from somewhere. There was never anything called the *Catholic work ethic*.

[metmom]

I’m sure Galileo as impressed with Catholicism’s contribution to science.

You left out this goal: 67. To manage the global economy...there is urgent need of a true world political authority..

such an authority would need to be universally recognized and to be vested with the effective power to...ensure compliance with its decisions from all parties...”- ENCYCLICAL LETTER CARITAS IN VERITATE

What was the role of the Catholic Church in building Western Civilization? >

Posted by a priest who rejects what Scripture commands and advocates, and was the norm in making America strong, charging instead that there is not "even a single positive benefit to spanking children and a near endless amount of horrible effects."

[Arthur McGowan]

Wow. You must REALLY love hitting children, to be still obsessing about it days later.

I believe Scripture. I just don’t take an idiotic, troglodytic approach to it that says Scripture teaches science. And whether hitting children has good effects is a matter of science.

Appealing to science for your truth?

That's a sure way to fall into error.

Proverbs 23:13 Do not withhold discipline from a child; if you strike him with a rod, he will not die.

You present a good case for NOT having unmarried people without having raised their own children giving married people who have raised or are raising children advice on marriage or parenting.

The Catholic Church’s impact on western civilization cannot be denied no matter what bitter anti-Catholics have to say about it. And going to the hoary Galileo cliché only makes their remarks more redundant. Dennis Prager once devoted an entire show to it.

[Vaquero]

Bruno was not condemned for his defence of the Copernican system of astronomy, nor for his doctrine of the plurality of inhabited worlds, but for his theological errors, among which were the following: that Christ was not God but merely an unusually skillful magician, that the Holy Ghost is the soul of the world, that the Devil will be saved, etc.”

holding opinions contrary to the Catholic faith and speaking against it and its ministers;
holding opinions contrary to the Catholic faith about the Trinity, divinity of Christ, and Incarnation;
holding opinions contrary to the Catholic faith pertaining to Jesus as Christ;
holding opinions contrary to the Catholic faith regarding the virginity of Mary, mother of Jesus;
holding opinions contrary to the Catholic faith about both Transubstantiation and Mass;
claiming the existence of a plurality of worlds and their eternity;
believing in metempsychosis and in the transmigration of the human soul into brutes;
dealing in magics and divination.

Not defending the church for killing Giordano Bruno..... Just that the Copernican theory was just a small part of it.

For those who live and die by Galileo, here is a good list of Catholic scientists. It does not distinguish between laymen and priests but that’s ok:

Hope the link works; if not, can somebody correct? Thanks.

The Catholic Church invented marriage. Before it, men owned women as they did cattle and goats.

[Jacquerie]

Ignore the ignorant. The vid is a great history lesson. Your target audience isn't the typical poster to FR.

[Elsie]

Stefan Molyneux

Does she STILL ignore the bible?

Proverbs 13:24 NIV
Whoever spares the rod hates their children, but the one who loves their children is careful to discipline them.

[Elsie]

The Catholic Church Built Western Civilization and CREATED Protestantism by Rome's ABUSES of it's POWER!

[Elsie]

The Catholic Church Built Western Civilization and the Catholic countries south of the Rio Grande are in GREAT shape!
