@brianshea4177 From the apostles' doctrine and the teachings of Christ in the Bible. The "Holy See" sure wasn't practicing or preaching them. More than a thousand years with discourse limited by deadly force, and there was nothing like freedom of religion until Protestantism was driving the political discourse. Protestantism created the modern libertarian west. We (Protestants) ended slavery; implemented religious freedom, political freedom, academic freedom, freedom of speech, freedom of the press FIRST, and thus caused the academic, scientific, technological, and material progress that followed; and most of the rest of the world hasn't caught up with it yet. John 8:32 "You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.” The RCC legacy hinders apologetics and evangelism, because the first thing we are called on to do is DEFEND the inquisition and all that burning at the stake, even though it was OUR spiritual ancestors UNDER the screws and not TURNING them.
How recently did the IRA bomb somebody to force Northern Ireland against its freely voted will to join Catholic Ireland? How many years after the US Constitution until any Catholic country granted freedom of religion? If you've got it at all (and I'm not sure you have as a group), you got it from us. Even Catholic "conservatives" (such as the Catholic caucus in the Daily Wire (Matt Walsh and Micheal Knowles), flirt with "enforcing" Christian behavior beyond protecting people from force or fraud.
Why? Where do YOU think?
