Did you find much bias in Traditional Christianity?

When dealing with researching the History of Christanity and the bible. 
I noticed that Catholics when talking about their history, they act like they were always so perfect.  St. Augustine is like their hero, but then referring to Martin Luther as some anti-semitic, bitter and angry Anti-Christ.  Yet the Protestants claim that the Catholic Church is the antichrist, and the Whore of Babylon, yet Martin Luther and John Calvin are the heroes.

Then, the Catholic believes that they were the original Church, and the Eastern Orthodox  Church is a schism from them.  The Eastern Orthodox church claims that the Catholic Church split from the Orthodox Church. 

It would probably take a while to go through every example, but I had noticed with Universalism has more scholarly work done from people from all religions, atheism, acgnosticism, Catholicism, Eastern Orthodox, Protestantism, ect.

This material requires a bias cut; prejudiced in favor of themselves.

What a tragedy when you consider that Jesus said John 13:34-35 that our primary witness would be our love for one another!!!  Wow, I'd be depressed by the state of my children if I were God!!!

   Naaah.....He can see them coming a long way off..even have

  spent all their inheritance on harlots and riotous living :bigGrin:

  now...the elder son...has a lesson to learn about LOVE,TOO

  and he learns it by observing the treatment Father shows towards His prodigals :HeartThrob:

  Amen Sis ! 

  pride is a   funny thing eh ? Pro 11:2 [When] pride cometh, then cometh shame: but with the lowly [is] wisdom.

  both sons experienced it 
the prodigal before his  journey  and  was humbled on his way back home
  the  elder son is still learning  :winkgrin:
Jesus is the reward  !!
