The Catholic Bogeyman, Part 1: A Myth, Not an Argument (#482)

Anti-Catholic propaganda is not a pile of arguments waiting to be answered one by one. It is a story: a pure church, a theft, a long night, a remnant, a monster with a face. That story has kept the same shape for five hundred years. It works by emotion, not evidence. Once the plot is in place, facts become scenery and you cannot fact-check a myth. This episode is about recognizing that narrative for what it is. The next episode is about how to respond.
