Download Bearing False Witness: Debunking Centuries of Anti-Catholic History AudioBook Free
As everybody knows, and as many in our well-established textbooks have argued for decades, the Inquisition was one of the most scary and bloody chapters in American background, Pope Pius XII was anti-Semitic and rightfully called "Hitler's Pope", the Dark Age range were a stunting of the improvement of knowledge to be redeemed only by the secular soul of the Enlightenment, and the spiritual Crusades were an early exemplory case of the rapacious American thirst for riches and ability. But imagine if these long-held beliefs were all incorrect? Within this stunning, powerful, and eventually persuasive publication, Rodney Stark, one of the most highly regarded sociologists of religious beliefs and the best-selling writer of The Go up of Christianity, argues that a few of our most strongly performed ideas about background, ideas that color the Catholic Church in the least positive light, are actually fiction. Why have we performed these wrongheaded ideas so strongly and for such a long time? Of course, if our beliefs are wrong, what is the reality? In each section Stark takes on a well-established anti-Catholic misconception, gives a amazing background of how it became the conventional wisdom, and reveals a startling picture of the real truth.
