Again, you don't understand history. You should do more reading.

Yes I do. You should.

This is a productive exchange.

If you really only accept the secular reports that blame the Church and ignore the real history of Catholic Monarchy then I don't know what I'm supposed to do. If you are open minded enough to discuss the real history of Catholic Monarchism I'm open to that.

Galileo insisted that the Church and her scriptures were wrong. He would not stop claiming that so the Church cut off his head...O wait. They didn't do that at all.

Here's a basketball guy who understands History. After the Clippers amazing win in game 1 their GM observed: “I’ve watched too many times where a front office brings in its own players, and the coaches aren’t on board and you end up with a separation of church and state,” Olshey said. “This was always our team.”

Seems like a sound insight to me.

It appears that the Pontifical Academy of Science agrees with man made global warming. I guess I must reevaluate either my common sense or my faith in the Church.

If one is concerned about the environment....plant a tree.

If one is concerned about hunger, plant an apple tree.


Simple science, simple theology. We need not spend billions of dollars and an extreme amount of resources unnecessarily.

If you want to make an additional statement, join the Arbor Day Society.
