The Inquisition

“The Christian resolve to find the world evil and ugly, has made the world evil and ugly.”
  • Friedrich Nietzsche
Today, the xtian church does not have the power it once had, yet, we have witnessed the xtian abuses of children, child rape, molestation and other vile acts that reveal the true nature of many xtians and the effects their “god” has upon his followers. The pedophilia scandals are just a small sample of what xtians are capable of.

Years ago, when the xtian church had complete control over government, human life and spirit, we can see from the inquisition, just how sick these people are and just what lengths they will go to get you to accept “jesus.” Just as is seen in the numerous xtian abuses of children today, years ago, with the inquisition, girls as young as nine and boys as young as ten were tried for witchcraft. Children much younger were tortured to extract testimony against their parents.¹ Children were then flogged while they watched their parents burn.
A documented case in the Silesian town of Neisse reveals a huge oven was constructed, which over a ten year period, more than a thousand “condemned witches, some as young as two years old” were roasted alive.² Many victims were also extremely old, some in their 80’s. This made no difference to the church.

It’s certainly a very modern basilica:

That, unfortunately, is not the only place of worship with a haunted woods inside a shopping mall aesthetic.

Here is the Paul VI audience hall, occasionally the site of Papal masses:

It’s like the people who built and decorated these places forgot which team we’re supposed to be playing for (hint: **not **hell). Does anybody think this is beautiful?

I’m familiar with the background at the Paul VI audience hall. Frankly, both pieces found in each setting are somewhat ‘scary’ to say the least in my opinion.

Catholic church, Trona, California

If I were the Roman Pontiff I would write the “motu proprio” that all churches have to be pleasant to the eye.

If you were the Pope, I hope would you would accompany that instruction with a generous amount of money. Trona, California is a poor, unincorporated desert community. The soil is so alkaline, grass will not grow. The parish, St.Madeline Sophie Barat, has 45 families registered to it, however it seems weekday Mass is only offered once per month. And Sunday Mass isn’t listed on the official website.

Incidentally, the photo you posted gives the impression that the church is rectangular. However, it is triangular, and this photo gives a better sense of it. It may not win a beauty contest, but not every community can afford beauty.
 
A Catholic Church in Poland – is that a Freemasonic “all-seeing eye” at the top?! :eek:



Now for a lovely Church – Our Lady of Sorrows Basilica in Chicago, IL :
