>The Crusades were self-defense against Islamic aggression>The Spanish Inquisition was one of the earliest institutions of due process/fair trials>The Middle Ages (from 10th-15th centuries bar the Black Plague) was actually a great time for European wisdom and innovation>The Catholic Church laid the foundations of modern science>The Spanish Empire was one of the most humane empires to ever exist, even greater than the Romans themselvesT. not a tradcath, I just acknowledge the anti-Catholic black legends spread by French secularists and Anglo-Protestants which made Europeans hate themselves and others seethe against Europeans
>>18445052>The Catholic Church laid the foundations of modern scienceNever heard of the Greeks or Babylonians award
Two things I found interesting about Catholicism and it's relation to humanism/sciences1. One of the first person ever to moralfag over colonialism instead of accept might makes right was Bartolomé de las Casas. While the Spanish were making bank in the Caribbean he was actively hall monitoring to the Pope trying to get them to shut that shit down. Thus started a long tradition of European self-hatred that continues to this day, even post secularization.2. The founder of the big bang theory was also a catholic priest. Far from the theory of evolution running opposed to creationism they actually came up with it.

Their mission was to enforce the culture change, the jesuits were the ones in charge of learning the language and adapting the religion. De las casas was the one who placed the church as an institution in this new place. Two sides of the same coin for their purpose was to place the catholic church in a position of power in america.
>>18445079The ancients developed philosophy, logic and epistemologic methods of inquiry and discussion, but it was the medievals and early moderns that developed the scientific method, specially through studying Aristotle's epistemology. Men like Nicole D'Oresme, Robert Grosseteste, Roger Bacon, Francis Bacon, Copernicus, Galileo, Mondino de Luzzi, Jacopo Berengario da Carpi, Vesalius, Kepler, etc.
>>18445101>but it was the medievals and early moderns that developed the scientific methodAre you even considering the Muslims when you say that?Its always yapyapyap as if Europe is the origin of history
>>18445104the muslims are still post ancient times, but no, i'm not familiar with muslim history as i haven't studied everything. But i'm aware there have been important eastern thinkers and inventors like Avicena.
>>18445129Ibn al haytham pretty much used the scientific method, just because he's not part of the circlejerk doesn't mean that it wasn't developed Pretty much everything has already been done, we just haven't included it in our cultural library yet

>>18445131>"ACKCHYUALLY"
>>18445101Modern Astronomy is literally derived from the Babylonians. Concepts such as the 12-sign zodiac, the use of base 60 mathematics for measuring time and angles, and the calculations of planetary movements to predict phenomena like eclipses are all Babylonian in origin.
>>18445052By far the most important thing the Catholic church did for Europe and the world was to establish universities, then grant them self-government from local diocesan and government interference, so that they became indepedent corporations of learning and training. Once there was a body of men in Europe whose profession it was to forward learning, then all that guff about scientific method actually begins to mean something; all of those men who contributed to establishing the Scientific Revolution that catapaulted us into the modern age were products of those universities.
>>18445052The Enlightenment was a factory of lies against the Middle Ages. And yes, attacking the Middle Ages is nothing more than an indirect attack against Catholicism.
>>18445480enlightenment thinkers:>burnt witches en masse>never bathed>chattel slaveryyet they have the audacity to claim the middle ages were the ones backwards? these enlighenment thinkers didn't even revive roman aqueducts!
>>18445479Now academia is a subversive force hostile to its host ethno-religious populace.
