Makelan,
Thanks for the webpages.
In a nutshell, the first webpage you include bring to mind this phrase (who originated it I can't remember): "History is written by the conquerors" While the phrase was made, I believe, in reference to military matters, it applies equally to the history of the church and calls into question a great many things.
