Why are the greatest writers Catholic, or at least educated in

>>1443202
Catholicism had a monopoly on education

>>1443229
Because we do it best.

>>1445258
>teach people bullshit
>best

You're the same type of person that will say that The Islamic Golden Age had nothing to do with Islam while turning around and attributing everything to Christianity.

This basically,
The question is absurd as to ask why majority of the greek philosophers were pagans (don't argue the semantics)

>>1443202
This is reflecting more what you have read and been in contact with rather than what actually is. Yes, most writers before and after the renaissance have been somehow connected to the church. What one however have to understand is the influence the church had at this time. Not paying any heed to the church would easily equal death at times, blasphemy was afterall at places in Europe for a long time a crime.

>>1443202
Everybody is Catholic one way or another. We are all gifted in different areas

>>1445258
Because you burn people who compete with you

>Shakespeare

>My name is Edgar, and thy father's son.
>The gods are just, and of our pleasant vices
>Make instruments to plague us:
>The dark and vicious place where thee he got
>Cost him his eyes.

>right after he says this Cordelia who literally did nothing wrong dies

You shouldn't have chosen such a shitty woman to make a lifelong covenant with. Divorce is impossible, and the result is your own fault for lack of discernment. At best you could get a civil separation, but you'd need to remain celibate until the wife died

The islamic golden age was spearheaded by the raping of europe and india. Maintained on the blockade of two continents. Then, finally killed off by the poison of islamic ideology.

So you could say that Catholics are cucked for life?

>>1445340
