Church History

If we would only bother to discover church history, we could discover this horror: In God’s name, the atheists were booted out of town, ostracized, arrested, punished, tortured, incarcerated, drowned, boiled, garroted, hanged, burned, shot, and executed for bringing enlightenment to free the human mind! Such was the case against Giordano Bruno, a Catholic monk during the 16th century. For believing and preaching that there are other worlds out there, and for believing that everything perishes but nothing changes, the church had him arrested, tried, and sentenced to death by burning him alive on a stake in a public arena. Of course another was our own Jose Rizal – the greatest Filipino freethinker. He was executed for his harmful writings against the Catholic teachings to Filipinos in the Philippines.

That's human, worldly, sinful history that mars Catholicism- not Christianity. Get it right.

Why do you get it wrong? Both Catholicism and Christianity are not only in this human and sinful world, but both enjoy Jesus Christ and his teachings at its foundation. But then again why should the teachings of Jesus Christ in either the Catholic version or the Christian version continue to keep the world in a mess? Poch Suzara
