The etudie We are dedicated to Social and Religious Information, in the end, oddly and strength, just turned into "mentirólogos." So much so, that I, personally, have concluded that, in Spain and much of Europe, with some exceptions, the Religious Information does not exist: what exists is pure disinformation and propaganda.
Disinformation: the art (perverse) to present half-truths and whole truths (concealment of relevant data highlighted some aspects compared to others that are almost silenced or not given equal importance) and even, sometimes, real fasedades. Usually occurs in a journalistic context relativistic, hidden under the myth of 'objectivity'. Often pursue a political or ideological purpose, although in many cases, attempts to subtly introduce the information, with the appearance of neutrality (it shows in the use of these sources, eg.: Contrasting two views A and B to which given equal value when, for example, is an expert and not another, etc.). Often serves as Agents do not necessarily share a close ideological or political, for example, placing in the newsroom on social and religious issues to inexperienced or poorly trained editors and, of course, are not given adequate information.
The truth is that, until recently, what used to English media, was to resort to so-called 'experts' obvious affinity to others, or use words that manipulated the meaning of the facts: for example, kills Christians in Sudan or Pakistan was called 'clashes between Christians and Muslims. " But it is also used to direct lie (or, being generous, the error in bulk). I always use this example, but I believe it is paradigmatic:
-El Diario 'Public' reported death of a child because her parents refused to give proper treatment on religious grounds. It is said that these parents belong to a "conservative Catholic group." In fact, belonged to a group within a sect paraprotestante. "Lie or error? In any case, if it is a mistake ... Is it a mistake interested? Information on cases of pedophilia in the clergy, who peppered the pages of all newspapers and TV screens, in a structured and systematic, in the first half of 2010, are also paradigmatic in this regard. Figures hid, hid relevant data, even came to manipulate documents Vatican (I could not say whether Dred or accidentally), to believe that Ratzinger and the Vatican covered up. The fact is that the so-called 'crisis of pedophilia', currently offline media ended up discrediting most like the New York Times to the Vatican. List
lies about religious subjects most widely believed by the media and in society
This is not something new, the lie has always gone hand in hand with ideological propaganda, they serve most of the media communication. Specifically, one marvels at the effectiveness of this procedure, it has achieved, based on creeping over and over again, people and society to assume a 'true' parallel to reality, on certain groups or religious groups. Here is a brief list, by way of example (it could be much longer) of those 'lies' turned into truths that the media convey over and over again without much grinding and people assume as established facts:
-Galileo was condemned for his scientific thesis (false, was examined by an interference in theology).
-Galileo died
excommunicated and burned at the stake (false, died of old age at his home in Florence and with the blessing of his friend the Pope).
"The Church taught that the earth was flat (false, was the most accepted scientific theory at the time, but in the Bible itself is written that is round. If it had been, Columbus had not gone to America, but the dungeons of the Inquisition).
-quedamo Servetus was burned at the stake by the Inquisition (he was the terror regime of Protestant Calvin in Switzerland, who killed Servet, when this was going to Catholic Italy).
"The Inquisition was created to persecute Jews and Muslims (false: the Inquisition had no jurisdiction over these communities, which had their own courts of faith, in fact, was created to prevent the lynching of 'scapegoats' by the mob).
-The Inquisition tortured and burned at the stake condemned all: it was the State, for political purposes, which ran the sentences, which usually ended in sambenito and questioned, rather than at the stake.
"The numbers killed by the Inquisition are extremely high: what historians know is they are much lower, for example, the violence in Protestant countries (where obsessively pursuing witchcraft) and religious persecution during the French Revolution, during which he used extremely cruel methods of torture, they do fade any practice of the Inquisition.
"The Inquisition was arbitrary judgments: indeed, the process was well established, and the guarantees of the accused. Not like in the mock witch trials that were done in Protestant countries.
"The Church taught that torture is a legitimate means to achieve conversions (torture as a means to conversion is expressly prohibited by Pope Nicholas I, around the year 800, before, not even raised the issue).
"Christians persecuted the pagans in the Roman Empire: it was the Christians who at first were persecuted. Even after the so-called 'Edict of Constantine' (313), there were many years of cohabitation between pagans and Christians, to the phagocytosis almost all of the Eastern Church from the state power in Byzantium.
"Christians burned the Library of Alexandria (no, they did the pagans) and killed the philosopher Hypatia (but was actually protected the bishop Cyril, died in a mob of thugs in the streets).
-The Crusaders were soldiers of the church and acted in its name: in fact, the gentlemen who 'took the cross "were private armies of the lords and kings who decided to go to the Holy Land to protect pilgrims. Popes and bishops are not 'sent' to these warriors. The Crusade was the first interference 'humanitarian' of History: a coalition of nations involved in a territory que se considera patrimonio de la Humanidad (los Santos Lugares) para garantizar el derecho al culto de todos los peregrinos, que eran masacrados constantemente por los bandidos, ante la impotencia de los gobernantes de la zona.
-La Iglesia aprobaba la crueldad de los cruzados: lo primero, ni muchísimo menos todos los cruzados eran crueles y sanguinarios, como se les ha pintado en películas que poco tienen que ver con la realida, como 'El reino de los cielos' de Ridley Scott o la actual 'En tiempo de brujas': había una moral de la guerra y normas que los caballeros no podían transgredir sin castigo. En segundo lugar, la Iglesia -en concreto los Papas-, se opusieron a los excesos cometidos por la ambición de reyes, feudal lords and knights concrete, as when, in the 1 st Crusade, some gentlemen were diverted from their course and attacked a Jewish community, or plundered Constantinople, which was a disaster for the whole Church, thus consolidating the schism of the Church Orthodox. The more you know the Cruazdas, Historiography value most positive aspects, as the unit that generated between the kingdoms and dominions of Europe, which stopped warring with each other for a higher ideal. Moreover, the Crusaders were no more cruel than their opponents.
-monks brutally exploited people in the Middle Ages, they demanded exorbitant taxes and he had submitted: this is an idea of \u200b\u200bthe large deformation of the medieval period, as recognized by one of them, Umberto Eco-
Christianity fostered ignorance and obscurantism in the Middle Ages was in fact within the Church where equalization arises the legal rights of men and women, the notion of person, universities, the advancement of philosophy and science, with figures such as Anselm, Thomas Aquinas, Pope Sylvester ... humanitarian law in war and even the first stirrings of democracy as we know it today.
-Culture in the Middle Ages were transmitted through Islam, which recovered the classical philosophy, forgotten by Christians. In fact, culture is transmitted via Constantinople and Rome, the Arabs were translations of translations.
-Muslims brought culture to Spain, where Christian Visigoth kingdoms were mired in oscurantimso and barbarism. FALSÍSIMO! Visigothic Spain was a great cultural fixture, with scholars and scientists as the great Isidore of Seville, Leandro and many others who lit up the people with his wisdom. Roman-Visigothic liturgy (so-called Mozarabic) is an example of very high poetry, culture, philosophy and theology. The works of Isidore, called "Father of Hispania" and "Light of the West ', are authentic abstracts of scientific knowledge, literary, philosophical and theological at the time.
-Al Andalus was a regime of tolerance for intolerance of Christians: Al Andalus had moments of glory for a few (the elite Islamic religious tax untested), and rare intervals of peace with the Christian kingdoms. The pursuit was normal, the choice between death penalty, tax or conversion. Córdoba in their walls still remembers the mass crucifixions in the time of the Caliphate. After the fall of this, with Almohads and Almoravids, get real time and destruction of cultural bigotry.
-The Catholic Church collaborated with the Nazi regime (in fact, stood in opposition, and warned of the inherent evil of Nazism in an encyclical published in German directory is usually done in Latin. The fact is that priests and religious help protect Jews and other pursued, eg com., communists, even distributing false certificates of baptism and hiding people). Joseph Ratzinger was
-Nazi in 1939, the Nazis in retaliation against the Church for its opposition, pursued the seminary and forced them to enroll in the Hitler Youth. Ratzinger, forcibly recruited as many Germans of his generation, he deserted and fled, until he was found by Allies.
"The carbol 14 showed that the Shroud is medieval and, therefore, false, false, Cabrol 14 can not be applied to fabrics such as the Shroud, affected by fire and badly kept out of place of origin. The scientific community rejected by unscientific experiments and the authors themselves have recognized that it was without due process (the same problem has come up with pieces of ancient Egypt). What has proven science (palynology) is that the fabric is from Palestine, the first century of our era and that was about it, at any given time, a kind of nuclear explosion that set the image without damaging surrounding material or (Radiology, NASA research).
