The Bible states that little baby Jesus died on the cross for our sins. However, it also says that this evil act was committed by the Romans, who owned Bethlehem and the surrounding area at that time.
So why, when the Romans were finally defeated, did the Catholic Church decide to move and base itself in Rome?
Is this the ultimate demonstration of Christian forgiveness or did they just make a mistake?
Also, does anyone know when the Catholics actually left Bethlehem and move to Rome?
Jesus was 33 years of age when He was sacrificed on the cross to attone for the sins of humanity.
St. Peter was appointed by Jesus to be the leader of the disciples and shortly after the Church was formed in 33 AD he moved his bishopric to Rome after establishing the Church of Antioch. This was long before the fall of Rome by many centuries. Most Romans were eventually converted to Catholic Christianity. God bless!

Christian bible tells women to be subservient to their husband, so how do Christian feminist go around with it while keeping their feminist views regarding that subject?
They don’t. Many Christians use even their bible to justify their actions and beliefs. They use every verse of it to their own advantage; using one verse to another depending on what the situation requires for them to justify their decided beliefs. It doesn’t matter if they are contradicting themselves. The thing that matters to them is to feel right regardless if they are or not. A self-declared Christian woman said that their God is not against abortion because the bible never even mentioned abortion.

Also apart of the question…In what ways was it a Catholic Reformation?
It was called the counter-Reformation by the Roman Catholics of the time. It was kicked off by the Council of Trent in 1546 in organized response to the reformations of Wittenberg, Zurich, and Geneva. The reformers (Luther, Zwingli, Calvin, the Anglicans, et al) galvanized and popularized religious observance among non-clergy people, and the Roman Church did a lot of the same things following the Council of Trent.
