In the end, I doubt there is any more organized a suppression of Truth than that embodied in this organization.
Much talk of Truth and support one way or the other here, but in the end I believe this to be true.
“The Inquisition of the Church of Rome was, in its days, one of the most terrible engines of tyranny ever created by man. It may be said to date from about the year 1200, when Pope Innocent III sent his inquisitors among the Waldenses and other sects differing from the [Roman Catholic] Church, and continued until 1808. In its course, it totally crushed any Protestants living in Spain: its final count numbered 31,912 people burned alive and 291,450 imprisoned. In the eighteen years that the Dominican monk Thomas of Torquemada led the Inquisition, 10,220 people were burned and 97,000 punished with the loss of property or imprisonment” (Foxe’s Christian Martyrs of the World, Foxe, 27-2.
I believe this church to be extremely prejudice, highly organized, very powerful and openly anit-democratic. I think this continues today. Means of control are systematic and reach down into the corporations that control some 80% of commerce. I do not think this can be overstated. 80% is lot, the rest is like table scraps that the rest fight over and is used to "prove" that "all is fair." The system of control first lies in the hiring process, if you control this you "put in place" those yu want. Maybe someone can do a statistical analysis of Human Resource managers across the large corporations?
I do believe this is wise:
"to live as a christian in a state like Hitlers Germany, where especially in the time after 1941, ..."
"He looked out for himself."
I believe this to be true:
"The Catholic Church and Christianity have a horrible history of promoting war, assassination, intrigue, financial scandal, murder, slavery of millions of people throughout the years."
and this also:
"Unsupported and unsupportable slanders against the Catholic church."
