Q: How did it come to be that the Church is considered the enemy of progress, freedom, human rights, science, and just about everything else modernity champions, when in fact your book claims that the Catholic Church is at the origin of these phenomena?

Did I miss something? When did the Church look anything like the the "Religion of Peace"? I guess nobody ever told me we Catholics were an enemy to any of the above mentioned items.

Hmmm... I thought we were pretty progressive, liked freedom quite a lot (I know you saw "The Sound of Music", too. Tell me that's not a freedom loving group of nuns), supported human rights for everyone (including those who aren't born yet), and had a lot of Catholic scientists (oh, and don't forget the monks and priests who are behind the science of wine).

Maybe they have me on the modernity thing, but really, do you want to see any of the clergy in low rise jeans and tube tops? ewwww.....
