Catholics right?

The
History of Protestantism is the History of Anti-Catholicism: The
problem with discussing Catholicism with many native
English-speakers is that they come to the table
loaded down with so much baggage. They have
been formed by 400 years of anti-Catholic propaganda. Consequently,
their negative view of Catholicism is in the national
subconscious, it is in our blood. If a man
actually believes at the level of his sub-conscious
that a rosebush is a man-eating tiger, then he
will jump and break out in a sweat of fear when
he passes a rosebush regardless of the fact that
at the level of conscious thought he knows that
this is absurd. More:

Information
on Finding Happiness: The consideration of
the above question has been enormously complicated
by modern man’s abandonment of the very notion
of objective moral truth! One may hear for
example people say such gobbledegook as: “Whether
an unborn child is a person or not is a matter
of opinion.” As a culture we have
learned to talk out of both sides of our mouths
at once, because this is certainly not the way
we actually live our lives. No one for example
drives with eyes shut on the premise that whether
it is safer to drive with one’s eye shut
is a matter of personal opinion. More:

The
Veracity and Harmony of the Four Gospels: The
following essay does not demonstrate that the four
Gospels are ‘inspired’ or the ‘Word
of God’. Indeed, it is nonsense to
start a faith journey with such an unreasonable
assertion of blind faith. The purpose is far more
pedestrian, merely to establish that the New Testament
in general, and the Gospels in particular, are
reliable history. More:

Who
is Jesus Christ?: The purpose of this essay
is not to prove that the Catholic claim that Christ
was God is right. The purpose is much less ambitious,
merely to answer the question: what does history
tell us that Christ personally claimed about Himself? More:

Over
1000 Prochecies: There are according
to scholars a total of 1,093 prophecies in the
Old Testament that are fulfilled in Jesus Christ
and His Church. Christ Himself said "All
things must needs be fulfilled, which are written
in the Law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in
the psalms, concerning me." Luke 24:44. More:

Jesus
Christ proves His claim to be God: The
claim that Christ is God is as implausible today
as it was 2000 years ago. That a man who
was born of a woman and died on a cross, a man
who got tired and hungry and angry and wept at
his friend's tomb, that this man who earned his
living as a tradesman should be God, seems quite
frankly the most crackpot idea that has ever entered
the mind of man. More

Are
non-Catholic churches true churches? Great
men and women fall into two broad categories. There
are those who left no clear organisation to carry
on their work, merely leaving it to providence,
and there are those who put a well thought-out
structure in place to continue their work. It
is the contention of this essay that Christ falls
very clearly into the second category: Christ intentionally
left behind Him the organised institution that
we call the Catholic Church. More

The Crusades: Anti-Catholic bigots both without and within the Church would have us believe that the Crusades were an example of the wickedness of the medieval Church. And they get away with their black propaganda because of the abysmal historical ignorance of almost everybody educated in the last fifty years. More
