⚜️THE 12 HISTORIC LIES AGAINST THE CATHOLIC CHURCH.⚜️

SO SAY BOOKS CREATED CENTURIES AFTER THE FACTS SAYING:

1. The Inquisition killed 1,000,0000,000 people among witches, Jews and heretics.

THIS BLACK LIE IS NOT PROVEN WITH PRIMARY SOURCES, MUCH LESS WITH HISTORICAL DOCUMENTS THAT WERE EYEWITNESSES TO THE FACTS:

AND BUT…

The Inquisition only tried to judge Catholics who had fallen into heresy, and very few times, it is worth noting, was the death penalty applied.

In fact, the Ecclesiastical Inquisition mostly applied light penalties to heretics, ranging from fines and pilgrimages to the Holy Land and not even 1/3 of the deaths attributed to them.

2. The Inquisition relaxed against sexual abuse of children of both sexes in Portuguese navigations.

First, the Inquisition only tried to investigate possible heretics, not sexual abuse against children. Second, if there were such abuses, they were not among the first Portuguese navigations that only carried men and adults, women and children were prohibited from boarding. Third, there was no need at that time for children or women to leave their homes to accompany their husbands on the first expeditions into unknown, dangerous and uncertain territories. This decision was taken shortly after the colonizations took place, and by decision of Portugal, Dom João decided to come to Brazil with his family.

3. The Inquisition killed the Catholics themselves: Saint Joan of Arc and the Templars.

Who judged Joan of Arc was a court forged by the English and the selfish Bishop Pedro Cauchon, hiding the entire process of Pope Martin V. While the trial of the Templars, was imposed by another selfish, the King of France Felipe the beautiful.

4. The Church sold indulgences, Luther confirmed the fact.

The heretic Luther is the famous author of the phrase: “What harm can there be if a man tells a good and thick lie for a meritorious cause and for the good of the Church?” And let’s face it, how is it possible to sell indulgences? And if any clergyman representatively “sold” them, he was as remiss and dishonest as Luther.

5. During the period of the Crusades and the inquisitorial tribunals, the Church forcibly baptized Jews and Muslims.

The Church has always forbidden forced baptism, priests always ask the children’s godparents or catechumens if they want a commitment to God.

6. The Church persecuted science, we take the example of Galileo.

The Church never persecuted science, as it never barred true scientific studies from the priests. Rather, it was Galileo who was embarrassed by his own erroneous theses about comets and the causes of tides. He was tried, arrested and released, after some warnings about his alleged personal interpretation of the bible to support the earth movement thesis that he actually “borrowed” from Father Copernicus, and mainly because of his insinuation about the transubstantiation of the wafer, which according to him, could not preserve the accidents of bread. If the Church persecuted science, it would also have to condemn Father Copernicus.

5. In the Middle Ages, the Church forbade reading and knowledge, as they wanted all its faithful ignorant.

The universities and schools founded by the Church are real proofs that unmask these calumnies. What was forbidden to Catholics were books with heretical and immoral content, so they were placed on the list of forbidden books called Index Librorum Prohibithorum.

6. In the Middle Ages, the Church forbade the reading of the Bible to the laity.

What the Church prudently prohibited was the personal interpretation of the Bible, so laymen are not recommended to read a translation of the Bible that is not recognized by its Magisterium or that does not have the appropriate notes of explanation.

7. The Church hides the fact of the existence of Pope Joan.

Pope Joan never existed, says Msgr. Cauly on this legend: “This ghost finds no place to place itself between Leo IV and Benedict III. Leo IV died on July 17, 855; Benedict III was (…) elected in the same month and consecrated on September 29 of the same year (…) This woman (…) was born sometimes in Athens, sometimes in Monguncia, sometimes in England” (Cauly, 1914 pg. 479). Another fact is that her contemporaries and the historians of the three later centuries say nothing about the popess. There is evidence that it was a 13th century invention of the schismatic Greeks and widespread by Protestant followers of Luther and Calvin.

8. The Church supported the Saint Bartholomew massacre.

The question of the murder of Protestants on St. Bartholomew’s Day was purely political, without any direct or indirect support from the Church. The blame falls primarily on the English General Colligny, who organized a similar massacre against French Catholics, destroying and looting churches, murdering priests and nuns.

9. The Church supported Fascism and omitted Nazism.

Pius XI condemned Nazism and fascist state totalitarianism in the same encyclical.
