this peace did not last very long and ended in a large disagreements and hostility between the two (Doc 2). Another motivation of the Spanish was said by Queen Isabella, before her death when she said, “Our principal intention, in soliciting from Pope Alexander VI the concession of the lands discovered and to be discovered was to convert their peoples to our holy Catholic faith…”(Doc 4). Her statement confirmed that her main motive for exploration was to spread her Catholic faith. This motivation

The Fruitless Pursuit of The Dalai Lama and Pope John Paul II I. Introduction: “Glinting orange through the green creepers, the Kombi family's mud-hut is barely visible now. Alphonse Kombi was murdered by militiamen in February. His wife, Bimosa, watched them eat his heart before they raped her, neighbours say. The trauma drove her insane. Two of the Kombis' four children had already died of malnutrition. Then, a fortnight ago, a distant relative came to collect the two survivors - an emaciated

not yet exist, I will quote Pope John Paul II’s own interpretation of this passage. Pope John Paul II, Homily, December 5th, 1996 Speak of non-Catholics: “When we pray together we do so with the longing ‘that there may be one visible Church of God, a Church truly universal and sent forth to the whole world that the world may be converted to the Gospel and so be saved, to the glory of God' (Unitatis Redintegratio, 1.)." In this homily, we see that Pope John Paul II himself confirms that the

Urbana-Champaign, Illinois, by the Rev. Elaine Gallagher Gehrmann:   Most of us know that the Roman Catholic church teaches that life begins at conception, and yet most of us don't know that this is a relatively recent change. It wasn't until 1869 that Pope Pius IX decreed that "ensoulment" takes place at conception. Up until then, the Catholic church had taught that "life" begins at 40 days gestation for a male and 80 days for a female, and therefore abortions before those 40 or 80 day periods were not

religions do not agree on when life actually begins - at conception, as a four-month fetus or at birth. He alleged that abortion was a religious decision and as such should not be restricted by the law. Pope John Paul II, on the other hand, left no question about abortion in the Catholic Church. The Pope has often argued vigorously that abortion is murder and condemns laws that permit abortion as being "intrinsically unjust," "lacking in authentic juridical validity," and not being "morally binding"

History of the Eucharist The Sacrament of Eucharist is the most frequently received Sacraments in the Catholic Church. The matter in the Sacrament of Eucharist is the bread and wine, which changes into the body and blood of Jesus Christ. The Sacrament of Eucharist is dated in the Bible as far back to the Old Testament, indirectly as the Israelites flee from Egypt in the desert, and God gives them manna to eat. This happens multiple times while the Israelites are searching for

Catholic Church uses to defend themselves from reform. Luther attacks all three walls for the power it gives to the Pope. His attack of the second wall, that only the pope can interpret scripture, is a tenant of Luther’s theology. The Lutheran belief of Sola Scriptura holds that only Scripture should be the source of all Christian practices, rather than doctrines declared by popes or other teaching authorities. While the second wall reflects a legitimate belief of Luther’s theology, Luther writes

Republicans and Democrats on the political platform. Despite the topics’ recent political trend due to our country’s new pro-life administration, it has always been a trending topic for women since the 1960s. Monumentally, the 1973 Supreme Court case Roe v. Wade made abortion legal. Despite its legal status, the controversy over the rights a woman has to choose her stance on abortion and birth control stems further than the political spectrum; it is often an internal

Before the split of 1054, the Roman Catholic Church or Western church and the Eastern Orthodox Church or Byzantine church were almost one with each other. The two churches held the same ideals and got along with one another the majority of the time. They had previous splits in the past but they were never a permanent situation because they usually found a solution to their issues and differences. The split between the Eastern Orthodox Church and the Roman Catholic Church in 1054 seemed to have no
