"We are God's sheep." wow, great analogy...

Take a look at where the universities started, Vinth. They were often seminaries first, out of reach of the common man.

Actually, it was quite the opposite. They were open to anyone willing to learn who could make the trip. That was the big divider. The ability to get to the universities.

The Catholics loved to keep knowledge from the general public.

Ya, the way guys like Aquinas and Augustine were persecuted for their work.

Take a look at all the early scientists and philosophers that the church accused of heresy and tried (and succeeded in most cases) to excommunicate because their views weren't consistent with those of the church.

And look how the Church helped support many artisants during the Rennaisance.

Take a look at how the Catholic religion and, indeed, the Bible has subjugated women from the beginning.

Yes, we invented that. And, we don't hold any women in high regard or anything.

In fact, take a look at all of history and do some reading outside the dogma before you start spouting off about how ignorant people are.

What is that saying about glass houses?
