Imagine if instead…

The Council of Trent spanned a lengthy 18 years (1545-1563) and proved to be one of the most significant of the 21 ecumenical councils convened in Church history. Despite the import of an historical event which influenced Catholic teaching for years to come, little work has been written on this particular council. However, Fr.

This decision, in addition to the Index Librorum…

crusades were one of the most vigorous events in history! They consist of a powerful series of religious wars in the eleventh to thirteenth centuries where Christian soldiers attacked Jerusalem to reclaim the Holy Land. Pope Urban II’s speech at the Council of Clermont held in France which initiated the crusades was considered the spark that powered this world-changing event; however, the original manuscript of his words had been lost! There are only reports of his speech available in the…

So, the apostle Peter spoke first about the matter advocating against forced circumcision of the Gentiles, then Paul and Barnabas argued their point of view before the council and church.

Even though…
