The Spread of Christianity

It took over 700 years for Christianity to spread from Israel through Rome to the British Isles through the work of the Venerable Bede.

It has taken less than 50 years for the Scientology religion to reach every continent on earth with its Scientology Volunteer Minister program, churches, groups and missions.

I wonder if the Bede was ever accused of "proselytizing?"

Of COURSE he proselytized! That's what he was venerated for doing!

So why, is what was exhaulted in one faith, scorned in another?

Could it just be that psychiatric destruction of religiosity in the 20th Century has perverted the entire subject?
