"Christianity, except for a few idiots is a tolerant religion."
In the Middle ages the Catholic Church extablished 'the Index Librorum Prohibitorum' a list of banned books. The Liborum lasted till 1966. I remember my father taking great delight in recommending one of the great classics of Irish literature, 'The Tailor and Ansty', which remained banned until the list until was abolished.
I believe that a Catholic marrying a non Catholic but wishing to marry in church has to agree to any children of the union being brought up Catholic.
All religions, given the opportunity, are capable of abusing power.
Can anybody confirm that it is prohibited for guides at the Grand Canyon to discuss its age for fear of giving offence to Creationists?
