Natural Law, I stand with the martyrs (unworthily, but I’m there).
The blood cries out. The persecution and murders can not be denied. The RC church should confess it and repent of it and move on. I do not hate Catholics, and I don’t think the majority of Catholics today would support such behavior. It does no one any service, least of all the RC church, to try to obfuscate it or say it doesn’t count because PBS references it in a documentary; or because articles on wiki reference it.
I am not going to pretend the persecutions, Inquisition, and burnings at stakes etc. did not happen.
The martyrs deserve better than that.
Your errors are in pretending to know something of them and insinuating that they were a uniquely Catholic phenomenon. You would do yourself a great favor to stop getting your history from the internet.
Peace be with you.
