“The Church needed to create fear of God’s wrath in the people, which kept the masses in order quite well.”

Agreed. Jesus spoke out against the church and its vengeful god and instead focused on Love. I’ve read many books on this subject, several by Bart D. Ehrman: ‘Jesus, Interrupted’; ‘Misquoting Jesus’, and more recently, ‘The Third Jesus’ by Deepak Chopra.

Help me understand your proposition.

Where is this mentioned in the Catechism of the Catholic Church, which documents Church doctrine?
