The majority of the lies Hunt repeats about the Catholic Church come from "The Two Babylons" by Alexander Hislop, a book frequently referred to as the most perfect example of shoddy research and fantasy passed off as fact. Anyone who accepts any of what Hunt and Hislop blather about the Catholic Church is not only gullible, they're not even Christian, just dedicated anti-Catholics pretending to be Christian in hopes of having a wider audience for their lies.

I've read Hislop's stuff...I've read the Catholic disagreements about Hislop's stuff...I've never seen a Catholic refute anything Hislop wrote...I don't see any reason at all to disbelieve Hislop...

.As usual, people who deny the deity of Jesus Christ naturally like their propaganda and just "can't find" or "have never seen" any facts that contradict their personal opinions. Just like our President, the LDS, the JW, the SDA and their prophecy road shows, and all the little individual flakes each with their own personal religion, those who want to believe a lie refuse to see the truth. A great many of them cannot see the truth because they've already been given over to a reprobate mind.

There's a lot more, most of in further along in search engines than the advertising for the book and the blather references to it by anti-Catholics and ignorant or stupid people who don't care about the truth. If you haven't seen Hislop torn to shreds, it's because you don't want to. I think it's very interesting that it was actually Garner Ted Armstrong who pretty much introduced the book to the US, and He Who Cannot Be Named who keeps it in print even though it's free to download all over the place. Hislop had to be revived because he was so completely debunked in the early part of the 20th century that only the Jehovah's Witnesses ever referred to it. Garner Ted figured everyone had forgotten the book had been totally debunked and used it to butress his own personal religion just like Hunt copied a ton of his work for his own personal religion, and He Who Cannot Be Named figures no one will bother to check the facts rather than accepting the lies.

But somehow, the vile liars who are anti-Catholic rather than Christian just can't seem to find any of the references that tore Hislop apart in the early nineteen hundreds as having lied about all the archaeological digs he referred to, lied about the various ancient language translations he referred to, and picked up copies of anti-Catholic propaganda leaflets from Islamic Turkey along with then popular British-Israel books to incorporate into his brochures that later became a book.

It just goes to show you, those who don't want to know the truth won't find it because they won't look for it. That's typical of people who cannot accept that His flesh and His blood are present in our remembrance of him and by refusing to accept that, call Jesus Christ a liar. As Scripture says, they have no life in them and with no life in them, they're always adopting anti-Christian sources. It's the same way with Scripture for those sorts of folks, quoting Scripture to them is like throwing pearls before swine.

I have a real problem with RCs constantly "killing the messengers" instead of addressing the "message" with PROOF that the authors they despise are wrong.

It must be one of the dirtiest jobs in the word: Trying to scrub Catholic history and polishing what's left until it appears shiny and pretty. It must be a full time venture. And all for naught. Because the truth always outs. Always.
