yes... they take something and make it their own... whether by sword or by cross....
what do you mean by this?
Habang hinihintay natin ang sagot si sir dpogs, makikisabat muna ako...
I think sir dpogs is referring to the practice of forced conversion by Catholicism during the middle ages.
Parang sa Philippines, dumating ang Spaniards, dala ang "
cross" (Catholicism). Maraming nag convert sa Catholicism (I refuse to call it "Christianity"). Pero ayaw ng Muslims. Ang solution --- "
sword" or forced conversion by violence, which they called "bellum iustum" (just war) or "bellum sacrum" (holy war).
In other words, ang approach during those times, kumbinsihin n'yo; pero pag ayaw, patayin n'yo...
Pero wala nang ganon sa Catholic Church ngayon, siyempre.
