"To think they started in a barn..."

• kibwen 2y ago
  This is a joke, but also it promulgates the conflation between the institution of Catholicism and the general religion of Christianity (much like the commenter above is doing). In truth Catholicism could be said to have started as conceptually far from a humble barn as possible: in the imperial palace of Constantine (or maybe Theodosius or Justinian, depending on who's counting).
