Hi Ben,
It is impossible to answer a question
based on mistaken history.
Most Protestant
protests are based on false understandings
of Church doctrine, and false facts of
history. Combine the two and you
get a mess which can't be addressed
from within its own premises. None
of what she said bears any resemblance
to history. However, there are answers
to things like:
- The Inquisition (which
wasn't what the England-generated
Black Legend says it was),
- the millennial
heresies,
- the use of Bibles, etc.
Since the answers require context,
I would suggest that you go to:
which is the older version of the
Catholic encyclopedia, and is very
historically-oriented, and look up Cathars, Albigensians,
and the Inquisition.
That will get you started; cross
links will take you further.
Hope this helps.
