@Logo_Daedalus Literally adding to my point. Peter Damian is coming from the exact same position as myself in these criticisms. Your misunderstanding my basic point. Im not saying the church was perfect until some oooh scary masonic infiltration that occurred 200 years ago

@Logo_Daedalus Since the very foundation of the church corruption has been ubiquitous and needed to be rectified. Peter Damian wrote that book in response to a similar situation that we are experiencing today. He wasn't trying to abolish the papacy or claim that the pope was the antichrist

@Logo_Daedalus even going as far back to the early epistles of Paul, he was responding to very real threats occurring within Christian communities, as there have always been historically

@Logo_Daedalus Peter Damian literally DEDICATED the book you linked to Pope Leo IX
