Meanwhile, in past history Catholics have at times, with the support of their church --- beat their wives Jews bloody and to death. .

There's not much of that in comparison among American, or else English Protestants.

In Germany, although on highest levels both the Lutheran Church and the RCC were both co-opted by the Nazis, men such as Dietrich Bonhoeffer did more with less (if compared to RC popes) in the end being murdered by the Nazis for his opposition to Nazism.

I read a mixing of metaphors, so to speak. The argument of American Protestantism is rather exceptional, and not the experience in other Protestant majority nations, whereas the argument again admits that Catholics span two thousand years, in most of those the only historically viable and visible Christianity.

To not mix, one would compare them in their generations, and see, in the Holocaust that, Protestant America closed its doors to the Jews so they could not escape, German Protestants disproportionally supported the Nazi party, while other Protestants, German or not, saved some Jews by hiding them, and Catholics hid Jews in religious buildings as well as private homes probably doing the most. Some Catholics and Protestants did good works, while others did bad works. The theological difference is, whereas Catholicism requires a state of grace evidenced by works, much of Protestantism rests on but a profession.

You were the one who mixed in bloody wife beatings.

"...whereas the argument again admits that Catholics span two thousand years, in most of those the only historically viable and visible Christianity."

Whereas my foot.

I'm not the one who is effectively blaming Jesus for what Roman Catholics have in past centuries done (and done wickedly) in His name.

Protestant America closed its doors to the Jews so they could not escape,

Protestant America is not spelled "Roosevelt". Besides, how can you have forgotten Coughlin so quickly? That was his heyday -- when he blamed the Joo-os for communism (like the Nazis did also) etc.

Some Catholics and Protestants did good works, while others did bad works. The theological difference is, whereas Catholicism requires a state of grace evidenced by works, much of Protestantism rests on but a profession.

The profession on which Protestant theology rests has place for "works", for one being called By God to good works and to perform those same, albeit not including consideration for those as making one worthy of salvation itself.

Is there anything which you get --->right? I'm tiring of needing to correct your each and every statement while battling also your assumptions as to what I confess to for those statements of your own which I do not bother with...

So far here, your statements to myself have been twisted distortions, omissions, wholesale blame-shifting one after another, apparently coming from *thick* biases comparable to Christian Identity/Stormfront ways of thinking, just Romish/Romanism flavored, instead.
