800,000 Jews were accepted into Haiti by Duvalier. Duvalier insisted on a valid Baptismal certificate. Pope Pius XII gave them all valid Baptismal certificates to spare their lives without forcing any to become Catholic.

The Blessed Trinity is infinite. Charles Darwin credited the evolution of humankind to an infinite universe; Mother Earth, Gaia. Even now, the sun is burning out. Stars are collapsing leaving black holes were they once were. How is the universe infinite?
Zeus, Hera, Juno, and Jupiter are gods of man’s imagination and creation. Certainly not any more infinite than man, their creator. The Greeks had an altar to the unknown God, admitting to their shortcomings which St. Paul used to proclaim Jesus Christ.
