I don't recall you claiming to be a member in good standing of the Roman Catholic Church. You left, having made your own decision to do so. You have been honest about that decision. Therefore, Catholics ought, in good faith, to judge you accordingly for all the good things you do here and this is not the first time I have posted that as to you. If people refuse to believe what Catholics believe, but also refuse to identify as other than Catholic, that is a different story.

Name a single instance in which I have advocated burning at the stake Reformed Christians who identify as such. When WAS the last instance of a burning at the stake by Roman Catholic Church authorities or by secular authority after judgment by Church authority?

If we are to deal with centuries old history, the Salem Witchcraft trials were not before Catholic authority. Nor were some of the festivities at Geneva. Or those under Henry VIII or Lizzie I.

You advocated burning schimatics at the stake.

Whatever someone did in the past, like the Salem witch trials, I don’t see anyone calling for a return to that these days.

I’ve seen several Catholics on this very RF long for the days of and return of the Inquisition and now we can add burning schismatics at the stake.

Knowing Catholic history, that well includes former Catholics.

So it doesn’t matter when the last time it actually was done was because the mindset is still alive and well within Catholicism as evidenced by those posts and would still be happening if the RCC hadn’t gotten it’s wings clipped by civil authorities, who are more civil and Christ like, that those advocating burning those who disagree with them at the stake.

And at that point, it does become the business of those at whom that kind of mindset is directed.

When, were the heretic burnings/drownings/ tortured to death murders- ever reconciled by the supposed throne of St. Peter? Good grief, what is good with you? When is your personal convenience, not at play? The Roman Catholic Church has been a deadly farce upon humanity. Jesus does not recognize you. Never has, nor will.
