No institution has done more to shape Western civilization than the two-thousand-year-old Catholic Church—and in ways that many of us have forgotten or never known.the Catholic Church invented hospitals and Universities.

It invented the seven-note musical scale. More moon craters are named after Jesuit priests than any other group.

The US Constitution is based on Roman Catholic doctrine rehashed to exclude Catholicism.

The Catholic Church first introduced the notion that all men are equal under God, introduced the legal rights of nation states and their peoples be they religious or not, sponsored breakthrough
science, introduced universities to the world, gave the world some of the most beautiful works of art and architecture, inspired medical research, promoted philosophical debate and moved forward
from ancient sages such as Socrates, pushed for the rights of women in society and becoming the greatest source of charity and financial support to poor people's throughout the world.
