@Suzianne Because no pope acknowledged the crimes committed by the church for approximately 1000 years,or to apologize!.
This is why I mentioned the Reformation.

We are far from the Dark Ages (also known as the Middle Ages), and so I expect that the bulk of Christian churches are now Protestant, and thus as far away from the RCC as one can get.
@eye-of-horus-42 saidFor that, a reconciliation of the great 1054 schism needs to happen. Why think it isn't possible, in the last years before 2055...

Faith can be had under threatening conditions, but it's not something wholly self-determined. We receive a faith gift and feel called to respond.
Most brainwashing or indoctrination claims wouldn't categorically meet a level of seriousness. As if parents, teachers, pastors can't impose anything or impress upon anyone. World leaders "Indoctrinate" their democratic policies, well-intentioned, yet it doesn't yield well to all countries.
