It was the Catholic Church who sent missionaries abroad (often at risk to life and limb) to evangelize the world; this was done by the Catholic countries of France, Spain, Portugal, and Italy (think, Amerigo Vespucci and Christopher Columbus). The world as you know it would be non-existent without the efforts of the Catholic Church.
To make a remark as ignorant as the one you have demonstrates a real lack of knowledge of basic history.
That’s so ignorant, I’ll just let it lay.
That gospel your Catholic missionaries and the entire RCC, since it’s inception, was “evangelizing the world” with is hardly something to take pride in. It’s a “form of godliness” yet so far from the truth of God’s word that even at this date, almost 2000 years since it decided it was the ONLY one worthy to speak for God and dare to claim His intents for mankind, they are now known as the Church that is run by the False Prophet, your pope.
Do you really want to tout the “virtues” of the RCC??
I’m well aware of the activities of the Catholic missionaries pre 1700 and many were good pious men who I’m sure decried the odious things that often took place in the mother church proper. The Orthodox, too kept the flame of the gospel alive in their sphere of influence until the Muslims nearly snuffed them out.
The European split of the Catholics and Protestants that occurred was a God engineered issue due to a corrupted Catholic church. The keys of Salvation were not being preached effectively thru the mother church, caught up with political intrigues, empire brokerage, and the selling of indulgences to tyrants to maintain a moral façade with their nations. In the shuffle, their main message, the Salvation that Christ brings was being lost. The Catholics of the 1500’s era did it to themselves.
