| Re: Da Vinci Code-"Last Supper' Debate The fact that Da Vinci himself is also basing his paintings and many other things on information written or handed down to him by people who were not alive and who were not with Jesus Christ and his apostles during the time he walked the earth, means that he and his works too (as well as his sources), are subject to skepticism.
Why believe the painting? Then again, why believe the Church? Maybe it's true, maybe it's not.
But here's a fact that I know is for certain: The Catholic Church was founded by a Pagan and his sole purpose was to unite his divided Empire -- NOT because he believed in the teachings of Jesus Christ. Thus the Catholic Church, if any - forgive me if I offend anyone - has a record of lies and cover-ups, and are not even linked directly to the TRUE church that Christ founded. Essentially, what I am trying to say, The Catholic Church should not be the voice of Christianity because -- by origin -- it is not christian. |
