I can't believe someone would be in a "religion" where everything was in a foreign language. You couldn't read the books, you didn't understand what the priests were chanting. ALL you had was what they told you it said/they were saying. Unbelievable what "intelligent" people will do/believe.

Edit:

A reason the Protestants..."protestors"...left and formed their own churches...they didn't agree with the party line that didn't agree with their "interpretation". So now we have over 5,000 different Christian sects.


Again, you are correct. Martin Luther was lucky he wasn't burned at the stake. Yet the Catholic Church has a billion followers. Far more than any other Christian sect.
