Roman Catholic Church is one and true Church created by our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, based on three principles:

1.
>unity of the Church under the Holy Father
>schismatics and heretics never created a fully functional body, just thousands of small denominations fighting each other

2.
>unity of the Church in history
>apostolic succession proven by saint Irenaeus of Lyons in "Adversus haereses" (Fighting the heresy) between 180 to 185 AC
>St. Augustine interpretation of Credo (~374 AC) declaring that
>One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church is an exclusive unity

3.
>unity of the Bible and Tradition
>protestant myth about "1st century Biblical christianity" can be easily debunked by a simple fact that there was no such thing as "the Bible" back in 1st century AC
>the canons of the Scripture were being formed for over six hundred years and contained thousands of texts divided by
>the Word of God - liturgical use
>interpretations - law and administratory use
>philosophy - science and scholastics

Not sure if this is enough for it's own thread, but what the hell, I'm anonymous.

If I want to read about history or philosophy in my free time, should I go for university textbooks? I'm wondering if it would be suitable for a normal pleb (STEM student) or if I should go for pop history books instead.

Gustavus Adolphus unrelated.

You would have to abandon the desire for progress and growth and revert to a subsistence level of survival. In that state people will be desperate enough for escapism that they will return to mysticism beliefs.

The belief that the end of desire necessitates stagnation, boredom, and death is a silly millenialcuck belief conditioned by a globalist society that cannot imagine life without the insatiable yearning for the Other its entire mode of existence is predicated on.

Not to mention the issue isn't about desire being wrong but desiring the wrong things

why would it be, /tv/-poster? you wouldn't be able to comprehend and articulate the concept of "consciousness" or "mistakes", without consciousness.
>but muh suffering, tfw no gf
wanting to undo consciousness because it's challenging is like wanting to cut off your legs when you get a charlie horse.
>>
>>1408413
No comparison between wanting to shut down consciousness and something else works because if you're unconscious/dead you won't miss out on the positives but are spared from the negatives, which isn't the case with having your legs chopped off.

Hey /his/, I've been doing some searching to find a proper armed conflict between Spain and Germany, but I cannot seem to find anything.
Now, by Spain I mean the political entity found in 1492 or, at least, the Kingdom of Castilla, and by Germany I mean at least the >H>R>E.
I'm interested to know because I was thinking about how many European countries haven't actually been enemies or rivals, and I'm now stuck in German-Spanish conflicts, but I haven't yet found a proper battle, let alone war.
The closest I've come as of today: https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crisis_de_las_Carolinas
This conflict was stopped through negotiations, which surprised me quite a lot, I didn't expect Germany and Spain to be able to talk thorough differences.
I am not counting Napoleonic Spain as Spain because we all know it was just a puppet state that didn't have to do anything with proper Spain aside form usurping the name and was actually at war with the real Spain.
So, /his/, is there a war or battle I haven't realized? I need help.

>I didn't expect Germany and Spain to be able to talk thorough differences.
Seriously, why not?
And Spain fought in the Coalition Wars with France before Napoleon decided to invade it.

Was there any possibility that the Western Allies could have prevented the Fall of France and the Low Countries in 1940? Or at the very least held on to a sliver of mainland Europe by forcing the Germans into a stalemate?

If so, what would've been the impact later in the war assuming Hitler still invades the Soviet Union and the U.S. joins the war in 1941?

There was a decent chance at a successful capture of the Ruhr area if Britain and France went all in when Germany was invading Poland. Then the front freezes, and we get strategic bombing of Germany, more complicated diplomacy with the Soviets and Italy (who could end up on either side), and Germany is slowly worn down.

But for that to happen, you'd need to get the Allies to gear up for War '39 instead of War '42. Remember, even Germany wasn't gearing up for War '39.
>>
I think a more realistic scenario than the decidedly anti-war and/or reactive rather than proactive allies actively attacking Germany while it was busy in Poland is a much simpler and I think much more plausible successful defense during the Battle of France.

Going through the Ardennes was incredibly risky and at times the Germans had miles long traffic jams on the handful of roads through the area (as in single digits of roads, like half a dozen or something at times).

Should that advance be spotted earlier and more importantly this intelligence acted upon, the war would be over, I think. Germans lose the advantage of surprise, of cutting off the allied vanguard, and suddenly the war turns out the way the allies wanted to, with a slugfest in Belgium.
>>
>>1408336

If we imagine the Front is on the Rhine, what would that imply for the rest of the war?

The strategic bombing is still happening. It didn't start 'by mistake' when a German bomber accidentally dropped it's bombs on East London after missing a military target in order to make it home; it was planned before the war by everyone. And everyone during the war invested in it, especially the WAllies.

Why is the field of economics bias towards liberalism? The economist, the FT, and several other publications are very liberal leaning.

It's not an indication of something based on the field. It's actually annoying reading through shit, bias articles. Take for example:

http://www.economist.com/news/leaders/21693584-leaving-eu-would-hurt-britainand-would-also-deal-terrible-blow-west-real-danger

That would be grave news—and not just for Britain. A vote to leave would damage the economy, certainly in the short term and probably in the long run. (As financial markets woke up to the prospect, the pound this week fell to its lowest level against the dollar since 2009.) It would imperil Britain’s security, when threats from terrorists and foreign powers are at their most severe in years. And far from reclaiming sovereignty, Britons would be forgoing clout, by giving up membership of a powerful club whose actions they can influence better from within than without. Those outside Britain marvelling at this proposed act of self-harm should worry for themselves, too. Brexit would deal a heavy blow to Europe, a continent already on the ropes. It would uncouple the world’s fifth-largest economy from its biggest market, and unmoor the fifth-largest defence spender from its allies. Poorer, less secure and disunited, the new EU would be weaker; the West, reliant on the balancing forces of America and Europe, would be enfeebled, too.


They imply that:
>Britain would leave nato
>That the EU would straight up sanction them instead of letting them go to a trade partnership like several other countries do
>That market volatility evasion is a sign of long term economic consequences, even when there has is not a cent different in terms of trade revenue and taxes

Idunno OP, why are Science Journals fact-leaning? Hmm

Because it's the establishment m8. You are allowed to say the USSR was an evil state but you're not allowed to criticize the EU.
Ok..you are allowed, but nobody will take your seriously. At least in my country.

Oh and please folks, stop making the anti-EU a left/right thing. Because every country is different. In my country the right wing parties are the ones that favour EU as opposed to the left wing parties which want out.
