Hence the Spanish word iglesia, the Italian word ecclesia, the Portuguese word igreja, the French word eglise, the Gaelic word eglaise, the Polish word kosciol, etc.

Well said -- there are too many idiots who think the Bible was originally written in Modern English...

My favorite is people who claim "adoration" is the same as worship due to that being one usage being added as an acceptable use in England around 1630. If their agenda requires them to ignore the facts and the truth, that's "how they roll".

Just like all of the non-Catholic churches doing a 180 on birth control about five years after Latex condoms became inexpensive and widely available. Interesting coincidence, that, but at least they weren't yet willing to ignore murder of infants in the womb with abortaficient contraceptives like they do now. The "Truth" changes to suit whatever makes going along to get along easiest for such folks.
