Probably not, the church was rather in the business of slaughtering all who opposed it in that time frame. How unfortunate that it was scourged by having to murder so many.
The slaughtering was done by political factions. By the Tudor monarchs, for instance, who whether Protestant or Catholic, put dissenters to death, robbed them of their property, and/or sent them into exile. Good Queen Bess executed as many people as her Catholic sister, and had a secret police force that reminds one of the Gestapo. In France, Catholic and Huguenot mobs roamed about slaying people at random. Only the “Politques,” such as the essayist Montaigne managed to stay “neutral,” at least to a degree. But the engine of all this was the Queen Mother who was trying to keep the Huguenots from deposing her young sons from the throne and her relations who were egging on the Huguenots.
