Title: How does the catholic church's history influences us in America today?
Post by: arredondolexi on October 19, 2018, 01:57:27 PM

I'm starting to learn more about the Catholic Church and I was wondering how does its past affect us in business, school, etc today?

Lexi, just what do you mean by its past? That's 2000 years. Did you have some particular part of that in mind?

Yes. In regards to businesses we have today. Because I feel like the church must of influenced businesses in some way over time. I’m just not sure how exactly.

businesses we have today

What businesses are you referring to and who is the "we" you are referring to?
Can you spell it out a bit more?

Lexi: This is difficult.  Be it better to see it the opposite way.  Like this: How did the knowledge, attitude, behavior change when the catholic church became destroyed by communism.  Communism is the error that was forced on the catholic countries.  In the USA, communism was to come slowly, for take over.

What did we have before, and have lost now?

What we had before, in business, was possibly more small family owned, and family owned farms and such. We have lost.  So, go back to what businesses were like with Catholicism, compared to today.

You had more "Family".  What businesses were booming to support the family?  What have we lost?  I can say we had proud parents.  Women sewed dresses of the same fabric design for their daughters.  Maybe we had more sewing machines then, then now.

I would take the question to www.ISOC. In Spirit of Chartres Committee.  They may give you good leads to books, speakers in this area.
