AT LAST!! THE TRUTH REVEALED.

THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH,OF COURSE,WOULD RATHER NOT SEE A BOOK OF THIS NATURE IN PRINT.OH,THE CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY IN THE NAME OF RELIGION. SHAME! SHAME ON THE CHURCH FOR IT'S MURDEROUS ROLE IN THE ATTEMPT TO CONTROL THE MINDS OF MANKIND. THE FIRST GENOCIDE WAS CHRISTIAN AGAINST CHRISTIAN (NOT THE NAZI EXTERMINATION OF THE JEWS DURING WW2) WHEN THE CATHARS OF SOURTHERN FRANCE WERE PUT TO THE TORCH BY THE MERCENARIES SENT BY ROME IN THE 13TH CENTURY. IT'S ALL HERE IN THIS HISTORY FOR ALL TO READ. LONG OVERDUE. I HAVE HEARD IT SAID,"FOR A BAD PERSON TO BE BAD IS EASY. FOR A GOOD PERSON TO BE GOOD IS ALSO EASY. BUT FOR A GOOD PERSON TO BE BAD TAKES RELIGION."

History of Today's Catholic Church

I started reading this book thinking it would be a simple history of the Inquisition. It turned out to be much more. If you want to understand the modern Catholic Church, this book is for you. It contains an incredible amount of information on how the Church became what it is today. The authors are brilliant at explaining the history in a very simple yet complete way. They take the reader through the complexity of the politics behind the religion. They seperate the State from the Church. It will surprise you. I thought I would lose a bit more of whatever respect I had left for the Church after reading this book. Maybe I did. But I also gained a profound understanding of HOW it got to be what it is today. Fan or foe, you should inform yourself about this powerful institution that is the Catholic Church.
