Based on previously unreleased secret documents from European Archives including the Vatican, Secret Files of the Inquisition unveils the incredible true story of the Catholic Church's 500 year struggle to remain the world's only true Christian religion.

Better to have no faith at all than to be somebody who believes the proclamations and edicts of the pope have the very authority of God himself. The errors of catholicism are more dangerous to the body of believers(the Bride of Christ) than all the pagans, heathens and infidels of the world will ever be. The most dangerous enemy is the enemy from within, not from without.

It was called the "dark ages" for a reason, because the pope held near absolute political and spiritual control in Europe. It was an awful period full of ignorance and hardship. Of course catholics completely deny 1000 years of history.

@RockyBalboa211 yet ironically catholic schools and some university are all private and charge school fees -- not very charitable of them..

You know its funny that lawyers, where responsible for most of the inquisitions actions, caused limitless misery, and are still worshipped as the voice of reason.

Perhaps if christian clergymen dressed up in sill robes, spoke bullshit latin and charged people £400 just for the privilage of having a crap in their house, they would enjoy such worship too

@RockyBalboa211 That is another lie the catholic church likes to tell people and their blind subservients believe it without even looking into the matter. Education institutions in the form of a school or academy have existed in many civilizations. The earliest were in Mesopotamia during the 3rd millenium B.C.

@WorshipInTruth: Yet, the Catholic Church was the reason for the university system and the hospital system.

I get it now. I suppose this is why you are a fundamentalist, or vice versa. You cannot see how other people can come to different conclusions given the same set of evidence. You claim I only believe what I want to believe, when the same is true for yourself.

I did look up those things you mentioned. Operation Gladio etc. All I got was a bunch of crazy dudes screaming conspiracy all over the web. I figure there is no point in talking about his anymore,this argument has no basis in reason now.

[WorshipInTruth]

No, I think you are a lazy 16 yr old kid who did not bother to actually do any research into the things I have for the past 9 years. If you did I bet you would come to a different conclusion. You are foolish and will only believe what you want to believe, there is much which you have no clue about.

[rossthefrogboy]

Funny how, if anyone comes to a different conclusion than you, it is somehow wrong. You don't think maybe you're a little biased, that maybe this isn't set in stone?

The more I listen to you, the more I am convinced of your complete lunacy. There is no conspiracy, no massive coverup by the government. I'm sorry, I know that must make you feel unimportant.

[WorshipInTruth]

Speculated? WRONG, there is much speculation sure but there is also much that has been proven from court cases and numerous numerous whistleblowers such as the Prime Minister of Italy etc etc. Like I said, why dont you actually look into it instead of just deciding for yourself what you should believe.
