In this informative presentation, he reveals that those who have a stake in keeping the myths and misconceptions alive are actively obscuring the best scholarship from both religious and secular historians.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHoly War\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the presentation on the Crusades, you’ll discover the true motives and methods of the Christian Crusaders and the nature of their struggle with Islam. Matthew discusses examples of the best current scholarship: modern medievalists going directly to primary sources for their research. They’ve discovered that Protestant and secular bias has rejected out-of-hand, the well-documented motives of the Crusaders in favor of a projection of their own anti-Catholicism. Surprisingly, the supply of written records from the Middle Ages is both large and largely ignored. Even many Catholics will be surprised by what they contain!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCatholic Kryptonite\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMatthew describes the Inquisition as “Catholic Kryptonite” because many times, just when a Catholic apologist begins to make headway on issues like the papacy or the Real Presence, the specter of the Inquisition is invoked to destroy his credibility. This series will offer you the crucial facts to put this topic in its rightful perspective and even show how the process of Catholic Inquisition was often more just and lenient than other contemporary forms of justice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eLearn the Answers\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat was the real motive behind the Crusades?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDid Catholic Inquisitors really kill millions of innocent people?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhy did the Reformation happen?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWas the medieval Church corrupt?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAre the Crusades responsible for modern Muslim resentment of the West?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhy should the Middle Ages rightly be called the “Age of Faith”?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat does modern scholarship say about the Crusades and Inquisitions?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhy did some reformers consider reason an enemy of faith?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Saint Joseph Communications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44957526917361,"sku":"SJC4096","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0696\/5008\/8177\/files\/fire_sword__56442.1600790224.1280.1280.jpg?v=1716579248","url":"https:\/\/cedarhouse.co\/products\/fire-and-sword-crusades-inquisition-reformation-digital-download","provider":"Cedar House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
