• Didn't the Catholic Church preside over the regressive "Dark Ages?"
• Weren't the Crusades an agrressive attack on a peaceful minority?
• Didn't the Spanish Inquisition burn hundreds of thousands?
• Isn't the Galileo affair the epitome of the Church's reaction to science?
• Isn't the Catholic Church the enemy of progress and civilization?
• Wasn't Pius XII "Hitler's Pope?"
• Doesn't "The Da Vinci Code" expose history repressed by the Church?
• What about the clergy sex abuse scandal?
