Many of these things are attributed to christianity, but in history, they often had nothing to do with the faith or the church itself. |
They are attributed to the catholic church, because she is obviously directly responsible for many bad things that happen in the world. For example: The suppression of sexuality as practiced by the Catholic Church (or Islam and other religious) naturally has all kinds of perverse consequences, such as paedophilia or rape.
The Catholic Church continues to prohibit the use of condoms and contraceptives, with catastrophic consequences all over the world.
However, history and psychology has shown that people who are required to suppress completely normal behaviour are easier to control, even if a few of them drift into extreme behaviour.
