Vatican City: Vatican- Forbidden Works

For centuries, the Catholic Church vigorously defended its monopoly on the truth. Authors who challenged its position found their books banned and followers excommunicated.

In 1559, Pope Paul IV published the first Index of banned books. "The index was a tool against the Reformation", explains priest and historian Hubert Wolf. As well as targeting theology books, the Vatican also censored scientists and philosophers, including most notoriously - Galileo. But many of the books submitted for censorship were passed. Hitler's 'Mein Kampf' was approved because "Hitler was already Chancellor and state authority was considered God-given." The list was finally abandoned in the late 60s but the Vatican still censors Catholic theologians who sway from the official line.

Rebelling against the state is rebelling against God? That's just bullshit.

You are a LIAR. Peter was NOT head of the Catholic church, neither was he the founder. Peter was head of the Church of Antioch which is in Turkey. This is where Christianity was born! It is written clearly for all to see in the scriptures! Read Acts chapter 11 verses 19 to 26.

No, you are indeed out of your mind.

Why on earth would you attempt to conflate the Catholic Church, founded by Jesus Christ, with the ancient Roman Empire founded my men?

No sane theologian or historian would make that kind of egregious error, so you are therefore neither a historian nor are you sane.

No one prays to Baal these days unless they profess some sort of belief in an ancient forgotten pagan religion.

We pray to the Triune God - Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

Typo - I meant Google the WORD Lord

[FugginBarstod]

@petruscephas - I am not out of my mind. Google the world LORD and see what it means. Just one of the many things Rome changed in the bible to confuse Christians of today. Sadly many think they are praying to the most high but they are not. They are praying to BAAL!!!!

@petruscephas - Hang on so you want the world to believe the Romans who murdered Jesus, destroyed Israel, destroyed the sciptures, raped, tortured and murdered those who tried to preserve the original teachings? Then they re-wrote the entire history to preserve their crumbling empire? Wake up. They wont even tell you who the true Israelites (all 12 tribes) really are.
