re"the Protestant Revolution could never have existed without the development of such ideas in the Church during the Medieval Period."

i like this sentence!

....such ideas were developed by individual catholics but never adopted and defused....hence the protestant revolution.

take indulgences for example...it was church policy that one could buy absolution of sins....pure superstition for profit.

take the miracle of the holy comunion.....catholics claim that the wine became christs blood through the miraculous intervention of the priest...p

protestants claimed the wine only symbolized the blood of christ.

which is the more enlightened out look...

and ask ruf how superstitious italians are.

-----------------
superstition and the catholic church.......

"Parish priests were often seen as tolerating superstition or even practicing it themselves, and many of the leading campaigners against it were friars operating outside the diocesan hierarchy of the church........"
