“How The Catholic Church Built Western Civilization”
ROTFLOL

“Catholic Church was saving Europe and the Western civilization from being obliterated by the forces of Islam.”
Try General Allenby. This protestant Christian man at the head of a protestant army defeated the Caliphate. On God’s precise timetable as prophesied in Rev 16 and Daniel.

Thomas Woods can dream anything he wants and it wont change that God calls the Roman Catholic church the whore of Revelation.

Our learned Prophet should know that Lepanto (Oct 7,1571) was the battle that saved the Christian West from the conquest of Europe by the Ottoman Empire. For the glory of the Catholic Church, the Muslims’ defeat at their second siege of Vienna on Sept 11,1683 mark the beginning of the decline of the Ottoman Empire. Catholics only, no Protestants, fought in those battles that saved the Western Civilization

To say “that God calls the Roman Catholic church the whore of Revelation” denotes that for you, fanaticism and ignorance go hand in hand.

The Catholic Church, founded by our Lord, Jesus Christ, was preaching the good news of the Gospels fifteen hundred years before the seeds of Protestant Reformation spread hate and division among the Christians.

Was not only, for the glory Catholic Spain, the fate of publishing a catechism in two languages, the natives’ Nahuatl and the Castilian, to bring the good news of the Gospels to the Indians. It was also the Catholic Church the one who gave to the world the Complutensian Polyglot Bible, the first printed Polyglot translation of the entire Bible. In contrast, the earlier printed Greek and Latin Bibles produced by Erasmus contained only the New Testament.

Calvin was less than 5 years old when the Complutensian Polyglot Bible was published in Spain, the first complete translation of the Bible in the world, ordered, supervised and paid by Cardinal Francisco Ximenes de Cisneros at the University of Alcalá de Henares, Madrid. The Complutensian Polyglot Bible remains a very important historical edition of the Biblical text. It was produced using the very best available Hebrew, Greek and Latin manuscripts of Cardinal Ximenes' day, and no expense was spared in its preparation.

The Complutensian Polyglot Bible was published in six hundred large six-volume sets, of which only 123 are known to have survived. It is not believed to have been distributed widely before 1522.

The first New Testament in Greek and Latin was completed on January 10, 1514. On July 1517 was completed the Hebrew text of the Old Testament. Copies of the Complutensian Polyglot Bible found their way into the principal libraries of Europe, and had considerable influence on subsequent editions of the Bible. They were one of the sources used for the textual basis of the King James Bible, for example.

The Catholic is the foremost keeper of the integrity of the Word of God as expressed in the Bible and zealously have tried to alert the Catholic Faithful to reject false interpretations of the Bible.

The Prophet said referring to my exposing of Calvin’s horrifying historical record: “It think your fixation on a couple of acts by Calvin in one city funny.”

Protestant historian, Galliffé, left written record of the autocratic reign of “this tyrant priest who submitted Geneva to the most infamous servitude,” Galiffé continues.(6) He reports that the number of judgments by public tribunals normally made in one year in the city “was easily surpassed in a single month or even a week under the rule of Calvin. Often there were many of these spectacles in a single day.”(7) Further on, he affirms that “two years of Calvin’s government produced 414 criminal processes. … There were hundreds of processes of this kind in that epoch.

Multiple death sentences are also reported by this same Protestant scholar, Galiffé, who delved into the records of that time. Describing a short period of Calvin’s rule he says, “One counts 30 executions of men and 28 of women, subdivided by method of death: 13 persons hanged, 10 beheaded, 55 quartered, 35 burned alive after being tortured.”(9)

Reporting the religious persecutions of Calvin, author Jean Tet affirms that “from 1542 to 1546, which was the softer period of his government, we count 58 capital executions, 76 banishments and 900 imprisonments.

Calvin’s horrendous record should be repugnant for any God fearing Christian, but for the Prophet they are just “a couple of acts by Calvin in one city funny.”
