The rooster still sang - Critical History of the Catholic Church is a book published by Karlheinz Deschner in 1962. In Italy it was published in 1998. As the subtitle says, the book is intended as a critical work aimed at demolishing those that are the author's mystifications of the Catholic Church. Contenutomodifica wikitesto
The work is divided into four books: "The Gospels and Their Historical-Cultural Background," "Paul," "Primitive Catholicism," and "The Triumphant Church." Each book is divided into several chapters, each of which is analytically analyzed a particular aspect of the Christian religion. Many of these are the true acts of denunciation against the Church: from the false lists of martyrs to the submission to the Roman Empire at the time of the bloody Constantine, from persecution against pagans and heretics to antiquity and modern anti-Semitism. There are also pages devoted to the support that the Christian Churches gave to the rise of fascism and Nazism. A further section is devoted to the critical analysis of the Church's attitude toward war. Deschner calls a large amount of direct and indirect documentation in support of his thesis: bibliographic pages are twenty-six, with almost two thousand works cited (most of which are German).
