The Catholic church was responsible for so much progress during the Dark Ages and the Inquisition.

Yes it was:

1.) University system

2.) Hospital system

3.) Patron of the Arts and Sciences

4.) Preserved the Scriptures

5.) Defeated the Muslim horde

It's unfortunate that a protestant will reject the Oliver Stone approach to history when it comes to the United States but then embrace it wholeheartedly without exception when it comes to the Church.

Brainwashed. It's a sad state of affairs.

Brainwashed. It's a sad state of affairs.

It certainly is. God warns us over and over again about it.

Yeah, none of that stuff ever existed before Catholicism came along.

Nobody ever thought of that before.

Re: the muslim horde.....

It's really too bad they didn't finish the job.

And now Catholicism is turning right around and embracing the muslim horde.

Here.

YOUR pope kissing the koran. Fits right in with YOUR Catechism of the Catholic church.

841 The Church's relationship with the Muslims. "The plan of salvation also includes those who acknowledge the Creator, in the first place amongst whom are the Muslims; these profess to hold the faith of Abraham, and together with us they adore the one, merciful God, mankind's judge on the last day."330

Every time I see Catholics post all this stuff that the world is supposed to be grateful for what they did, I cannot but help to think of the Cold War days when everything the US did, the Soviets claimed to have done first.

The world doesn’t *owe* Catholicism diddly.

Others had medical care and institutes of higher learning before the Catholic church came along, and GOD preserved HIS Scripture and is more than capable of doing it without the help of the Catholic church.

Taking credit for the work of God and the RCC taking the glory for itself that is due Him, is a dangerous road to trod. He will share His glory with no other.

5.) Defeated the Muslim horde

6.) Failed to defeated the PROTESTant horde.

5.) Defeated the Muslim horde

And that's why the world doesn't have to worry about them at all these days...
