There so much scandal in the Church. But here’s a few big one’s that come to mind"

1). Most recently the Bank of Ambrosia Scandal of the 1980’s. Where Arch Bishop Marcinkus who was considered a chief advisor to the Pope ran out of Italy where he is wanted on charges of embezzlement and lives in Cicero, Illinois, suburb of Chicago. You can look this up on the internet. The Church is involved as are many secular and priestly members. There’s murder, bribery etc.

2). The Conquest of Mexico, Central and South America and the enslavement of the Indians by the Church who worked with the Conquistadors very closely. There is only one priest who made any protest at the time, Barolome De las Casas and he didn’t say a whole lot.

3). The inquistion. (Which Ratzinger was head of).

4). You have to look up yourself the Pope of Avignon and the politics that went on there I think in the 13th century.

There is a book by A.N. Wilson called "Paul" or "Paul a life" which chronicles Paul life from a historical perspective and offers a different interpretation. Anything by that author is informative

There a lot more but that’s for starters. Let me know what you think.

Sounds like you pro Iraq pro Bush. Iraq is a disaster and I predict the Americans will soon be supporting the insurgents in the South of Iraq that they are now fighting against the Fundamentalist. This will happen especially if they elect a democrat in the next election.
