my italian friend loves going to the "feasts" that occur in italy, boston or nyc.
these feasts feature a "saint" with dollar bills pinned around her and they parade the saint in a long procession and chant "viva (whomever)".
they are quite serious about this and are proud to talk about the past generations of observers who appreciated the events.
Dgp, you are saying that the Church is to blame for colonialism? And more so, XVI century colonialism? And based on that the current Vatican has to go?
About the birth rates, the countries with higher birth rates in the world are not the Catholic ones. Your point being?

Rbih, face palm? How about a Christmas tree with a dragon tail and three eyes? I am moving on now. Take care.
the jws, catholics, mormons, and a handful of others say they are the "true church" or what jesus originally intended.
i know jws call themselves the "true christians".
by what authority - outside of the bible, since 41,000 denominations use the bible to back up their individual beliefs - can jws make this claim?
Nc, this specific analysis is too challenging for me in a cute sort of way. Take care.

Rbih, I have not done any of the things you are accusing me of, neither have any of the many Catholic people I know.
If you get offended by people that believe in their religion that is your problem, don’t blame it on them.
Also, inform yourself before making conclusions, specially based on what you see in a movie. Take care.

Rbih, if this is what you understand after reading my post I don’t think there is any point in me trying to explain anything else, so I will drop the subject now. Take care.

Rbih, I know about the slave trade which of course I find despicable. But blaming the Church for it is also despicable.
About Galileo, is he really the reason you don’t like the Catholic Church? I am pretty sure he moved on with more ease than some people 5 centuries later.

Rbih, you are right, the Bible is not a history book. For some people it is much more than that, for others it is nothing. Respect those for whom it is, that’s all.

Rbih, there is plenty of information in internet if you have the time to look for it.
Come back to me when you have discovered who were the main traffickers and the buyers.
NC, you don’t need your school book, even wikipedia can tell you how many Queen Elizabeths Spain had and if they had any part in the slave trade.

Rbih, the majority of the population in South America are of Indian descent, it seems the main objective was never to annihilate them or rob them their land. They are still there.
Dgp, sorry you can not see the connection. As I told you it is a bigger problem than your little mind can comprehend.

Rbih, movies are not always accurate accounts of history. Amistad is one of those movies, where Queen Elizabeth of Spain is portrayed as a girl playing with dolls at the time of the slave trade, when she lived a few centuries earlier. That among many other inconsistencies.
Do some research before coming to any conclusions after watching any movie.
