Default Re: Ask a Catholic

How about let's flip this and



Ask a Protestant.





I will posit that Protestantism was the actual catalyst for the Age of Enlightenment.

The Enlightenment was marked by an emphasis on the scientific method and reductionism along with increased questioning of religious orthodoxy – an attitude captured by the phrase Sapere aude, "Dare to know".

My family escaped France during the St Bartholomew's Day Massacre. I take separation of church and state super duper seriously.

Gavin McInnis and other Catholics would prefer to flick prayer beads and light candles whilst ignoring the books.


really though, Protestantism is effectively dead. Well almost. There's still freedom in the west. Too bad the UN is in charge of net neutrality. That's a bummer.




I would encourage everyone to read the gospels. Set one of your homepage tabs to biblegateway.

Spiritual nourishment.
