Protestant anti-Catholics lie. It’s what they do. It’s all they can do.
Familiar with the Pseudo–Isidorian Decretals, The Donation of Constantine and the Liber Pontificalis? Want to talk about lies?

“Familiar with the Pseudo–Isidorian Decretals,”

Yep. more so than you, I am sure.

“The Donation of Constantine”

Yep, again, more so than you, I am sure.

“and the Liber Pontificalis?”

Yep, again more so than you, I am sure.

“Want to talk about lies?”

Sure. Why not? Here’s why I am not worried. Whereas Protestant anti-Catholics can be exposed in this thread, none of the documents you mentioned have anything to do with anyone even alive today. Also, and I would be willing to bet money you don’t know this, but you’re not even citing what you probably think you are citing. Take the Donation of Constantine, for instance. Most historians believe, and with good reason and documentary evidence, that it was written by the Franks trying to prove a political point and not anyone in the papal court.

I suggest you read Johannes Fried, “Donation of Constantine” and “Constitutum Constantini”, (Berlin-New York: de Gruyter, 2007). He explains that the vocabulary shows that the author of the forgery “lacked any intimate knowledge of the Roman Church and had no feeling for Roman sentiments”. So, you were saying?
