The McCarthy Era was one of the darkest chapters in American
History. The U.S. government was so
determined to root out Communist threats in their country. Their suspicion was stronger than their
better judgment and as a result, many innocent were unjustly accused of either
being communist spies or sympathizers.
Some lost their careers while others were sentenced unjustly. It is a grim reminder that we should let
paranoia rule our actions. We must also
defend our freedoms against any unlawful arrest without any proof. Our freedom and understanding is far too
important for us to take for granted. That Era nearly took it away from us. We must never let it happen again.

Some further explanation:
The history of monasticism (the life of monks) goes back at least as far as the 3rd century of Christian history. St. Anthony was famous in those days for going out into the desert to live by himself, and others followed his example. Beginning in the 4th century, communities of monks began to form to live in community with one another in monasteries. Copying books was one of their occupations together, along with prayer and daily tasks.
The office of the pope developed out of the position of the Bishop of Rome. Over time, the Bishop of Rome asserted more and more power over other bishops in the church. Leo the Great (5th century) and Gregory the Great (end of 6th century) were two key figures in advancing the power of the "universal bishop" of Rome as leader of the whole church. The doctrine of the pope being "infallible" (unable to be in error) when speaking on matters of faith and doctrine was not officially proclaimed until the First Vatican Council in the 19th century. However, that belief about the pope's authority had developed long before that, already during the Middle Ages.
