>Islam was spread by the sword, but is there any evidence that it wasn't just self-defence because Muslims were being persecuted?
I doubt muslims were persecuted from Morocco to western China at a time when not a single muslim lived outside Arabia.

Yeah, it must have been hard for those poor muslims living in the fucking desert, being persecuted by Romans and Persians thousands of miles away

>I was reading about Islam from an anti-Islam site

Not even an Islam apologist, but why would you go to an admittedly biased source to learn things

>Is the West responsible for the Islamic revival in the 70s?

It played a part but not the whole part.

There were right wing movements springing up everywhere in the secular Arab countries of the 60s and 70s. The US just gave them the means to accomplish their goals.

It was also the Saudis who directly funded the construction of wahabbist mosques across the middle east to spread their poisonous ideology.

Oh I still do that friend. As an adult out of university. I enjoy thinking about political and historical events through the lens of realistic fantasy.

Please

I wrote up whole histories for my fake continent, including fakes kings, their reigns, and their accomplishments.

I worked on it for 2 whole years all throughout high school instead of taking notes in class to pass the time. I still have them in a draw somewhere, some 50 pages of notes and scribbles.

Honestly I like what they do with that show, because they clearly actually wrote the show more to make you think about history and to try and give casual history fans more of the tools required to really appreciate it rather than just "here is some events"

According to Catholic doctrine:

>all men inherit ancestral sin from Adam;
>God descended upon Earth as the Son in order to free mankind from this sin, was crucified, died etc.

From the Catechism of the Catholic Church:

>Adam and Eve transmitted to their descendants human nature wounded by their own first sin and hence deprived of original holiness and justice; this deprivation is called "original sin".

The theory of evolution states that we (as Homo Sapiens) gradually evolved from other creatures. This implies—if we don't misinterpret the theory—that Adam and Eve never existed. We evolved gradually as an entire population of tens of thousands over a very slow period of time. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xdWLhXi24Mo

If Adam and Eve never existed, no one fell, and we cannot inherit ancestral sin from no one. Moreover, there wasn't any reason which Jesus had to be born for, anything he had to free us from.

The Catechism states, "The account of the fall in Genesis 3 uses figurative language, but affirms a primeval event, a deed that took place at the beginning of the history of man. Revelation gives us the certainty of faith that the whole of human history is marked by the original fault freely committed by our first parents"

Pope Pius writes:

>The faithful cannot embrace that opinion which maintains that either after Adam there existed on this earth true men who did not take their origin through natural generation from him as from the first parent of all, or that Adam represents a certain number of first parents. Now it is in no way apparent how such an opinion can be reconciled with that which the sources of revealed truth and the documents of the Teaching Authority of the Church propose with regard to original sin, which proceeds from a sin actually committed by an individual Adam and which, through generation, is passed on to all and is in everyone as his own.

>>93658
I'm Orthodox, but afaik I know the Catholic Church sees evolution as totally compatible with Adam and Eve. It's just that Adam and Eve wouldn't be literally as they were in Genesis, but the first human man and first human man and woman as products of evolution.

>How can the Church of Rome justify the amount of power they confer on the Pope given the Second Canon of the First Council of Constantinople?

From newadvent - I think this answers your first question and provides insight into the third canon:

The purely human reason of Rome's ancient authority, suggested by this canon, was never admitted by the Apostolic See, which always based its claim to supremacy on the succession of St. Peter. Nor did Rome easily acknowledge this unjustifiable reordering of rank among the ancient patriarchates of the East. It was rejected by the papal legates at Chalcedon. St. Leo the Great declared that this canon has never been submitted to the Apostolic See and that it was a violation of the Nicene order.

And how can the Church of Rome justify the filioque when it wasn't in the Creed drafted by the Council of Nicene?

Arguably it was - it was a mixup between the Latin and the Greek. It was also meant as an affirmation against Arianism and Semi-Arianism which was still a problem. It shouldn't have been done unilaterally.

> so do you think a cloned human would be free from original sin?

Interesting question but I think you might be confusing current Church teaching on the matter (which I don't think is at the level of Dogma) with traducianism? I think Orthobros would have the same answer to your question.

>How can you justify Purgatory and the idea that humans can "pay off" their sins?

Anselmian satisfaction theory of atonement isn't Dogma, though it is widely taught. I personally don't accept it. As for purgation you guys believe in it too, just less elaborated. Theosis continues after death for most of us I imagine.

> what made you guys start approving the use of modernist art and music in worship?

No idea. Some say freemasonic infiltration, others the spirit of the 60's and 70's - whatever the cause it's a rupture from our own liturgical tradition and has no place.

t. Catholic who strongly desires reunion

Pythagoraians witch Socrates and Plato were heavily influenced by believed that life is horrible and that the after life is spectacular. Plato said on his deathbed that he wanted a chicken in acient Greece ment that he was celebrating dieing. Christianity was formalized by many people who heavily influenced by the pythagoreans and Plato. Thomas Aquinus took the edge off aristole and embedded Plato deeper into the Christian tradition. Some people think there is reference to Socrates and Plato in the bible too.

Yes but that doesn't mean everything was accepted. Aquinas supported Aristotle's metaphysics and followed suit with all post-ancient scientists in dismissing Aristotle's physics.

You mean civilizations that are relevant to you?

Do you understand that every person is going to have different criteria and standards for what constitutes relevancy?

Someone from fucking Nigeria or whatever is probably going to shade most of central, West, East and Northern Africa but will leave Europe grey aside from Britain and France.

Looks accurate enough, though I'd argue it's hard to agree on whether you should Highlight a country according to whether it inherited the name of the ancient empire, the demographic most closely resembles that of the ancient empire, or highlight instead the geographical area that made up the beginnings of the empire.
