This article makes claims which are not backed up by facts or references: I don't understand how the RCC should have interest in supporting a website containg such outdated content. It looks more like a private project to me. Matthias
 * What actually is "inaccurate"?
 * Why is the Roman Catholic Church (RCC) the "actual sponsor of the website"? Where does this information come from?
 * The articles (e.g. the one on inquisition) are taken from an encyclopedia written in 1910. Nobody will seriously expect them to mirror the latest positions of the RCC.

Should this page be deleted?

Another user deleted this content. I'm restoring it to the Talk page.

Signs how this Site might relate to Propaganda:
1. Within the subject, many cross reference links, but within the website, which keeps the reader under control.

2. Appearance of genuine scientific material with details often not even found on the Internet (one-stop shopping).

3. Topics are whitewashed according to the needs. E.g. Catholic involvement in the Inquisition can't be reasonably defended in modern times. Yet, the Church portrays itself as follower in bad times, instead of actual leader.

4. There are reference sources for each topic provided in the footnotes, although many are questionable and not the prime scientific materials. E.g., (some reference here)

5. Recommended outside book links to books supporting the views of the Catholic Church.

I can't see that it fits with the charter of SourceWatch -- I'm for deleting it Bob Burton
