anyway though, we live in the present. i think protestantism’s good intentions also unleashed many deep atrocities that were worse. there’s a sort of obligatory moderation in being mainstream, and “personal interpretation” became a free for all. consider evangelicals in charge of u.s. nukes.... onwards christian soldiers (yikes).
funny story (not funny): i went to catholic school and the child molesters turned out to be the fucking civilian teachers! at least 2 were found out. also, some cub scouts asshole. the priests were ok.
i dodged those bullets but heard the gossip.
ANYWAY. keep fighting the good fight.

all you say is true, but not part of what the book covered,
Mr. Hislop was deeply offended by the 1865 Papal decree that Mary, wife of Joseph and mother of lil baby jeebus, was born and died a Virgin, and was born FROM a virgin, ideas wholly drawn from paganism and not part of the Bible in any way. He saw where that type of shit leads.
