How come the Catholic Church at least never answered the tolerance other faiths showed them?
>Allowed to spread through the Roman empire with a few outburts of persecution
>Prohibit paganism wónce they are in power
>Allowed to spread through pagan Scandinavia, Norse pagan king even inviting one of their missionaries once
>Prohibit pagan rituals once they hold the majority
I suppose there are more examples but those are the two I got on the top of my head.

Because the Eternal Papist thinks kindness=weakness.

>Roman empire
The Roman Pagan Church was founded in 1545 A.D.
Because Christ is the Way, the Truth, and the Light. The Romans were content to absorb pagan beliefs willy-nilly, but that's not how Christ operates.

You mean:
>Routinely martyred and publicly executed in the empire for nearly 250 years
>Enforce their doctrine of faith
>Fought tooth and nail to civilize the Scandinavians
>Ensure that new converts do not blaspheme

>>Routinely martyred and publicly executed in the empire for nearly 250 years
>Implying the persecution isn't overblown and many pagan emperors weren't more tolerant than their laters ever would be
>Fought tooth and nail to civilize the Scandinavians
>Isolate them and other pagans from the rest of Europe before that by putting up previously non existent religious divides

>TFW China was smart and drove them the fuck off when they started their indoctrination arguments in a rare show of Chinese religious intolerance.

but they also told proddies to fuck off, thus denying themselves access to western technology which would bite them in the ass later
>>1985822
Because it had a sandnigger mentality.

>How come a father doesn't show tolerance to his child if he gets the child to behave and then the child slips back into the same bad behavior?

No. They just drove off the Brits whom they thought had nothing of value.
The Dutch were allowed to trade alongside France and Spain.

>rare show of Chinese religious intolerance
only rare because religion isn't a huge deal in China. They have a long and almost funnily cruel history of persecuting whichever ideology is out of fashion at the current moment. The chinese are shockingly intolerant of ideology that clashes with the currently prevailing dogma in any way.

Isn't Confucianism more like Ideology than a religion in some ways?
Explain why they didn't like Catholicism, which I think at least used to have a good set of ideologies prepacked with it.
>>1987664
They didn't like Catholicism because it wasn't Confucianism/legalism/daoism or whatever else was dominant at the time. I don't know about this particular piece of Chinese history but they have a history of persecuting anything that isn't what they're currently following.
