I’m taking World History in high school this year. I know that a lot of the stuff on the Church is very, very biased.

Do you all have any links to good websites on things like the Inquistion, Galileo, anything on the Dark Ages, etc.

Much appreciated!

You’re all beautiful.
 
Yes, you will inevitably be fed myriad falsities about the history of the Catholic Church. It is best to be prepared.

A quick read that will address many of your questions is “Why Catholics are Right” by Michael Coren. I found it to be informative as well as entertaining.
 
As Alexander posted, Catholic Answers website right here is a good source of information.

The one that I like and use the most when it comes to Church history is Catholic Education Resource Center. You can do a site search for those topics and come across a lot of articles. What is nice, too, is that many of their articles are actually excerpts from books, which can often point you towards a source for further information. It is also helpful for research purposes if you are writing papers for school.

If you look at their list of categories on the left-hand side, one of them is History - World. Browse to your heart’s content. 🙂

Hillier Belloc wrote a book called “Characters of the Reformation”. What a great book! It changed my perspective on so much of the Henry the Eighth-as-sole architect- of -the-reformation view.

If you ever read or see Jane Austen’s Mansfield Park, pay close attention to the scene where Fanny Price is reading her essay on history. It is a truly English Catholic viewpoint.
