No. YOU are wrong. The Catholic church has been the persecutor throughout history. Ask the Jews. Ask the Anabaptists. Ask the Waldenses. Ask anyone prior to the 1600s that wasn’t a Catholic.

That said, even John Paul II was concerned about the apostates in his midst. The institution as a whole is not warm towards Benedict XVI. Evil will overtake the Roman institution. Mark my words. True Christians will be persecuted be the Catholic, Protestant or other. Pretending like the administrative capabilities of a church are impregnable is very short sited. Rome will fall. True Christianity will not.

We are beyond the Catholic vs Protestant thing. This is a Christ vs Satan thing.

Tell that to Nero!

Evil has overtaken those who believe such nonsense.

This type hatred of the church has been going on forever,yet the Church still stands strong even when wounded it produces a whole host of Saintly children who bring forth great love and charity into the world.

True Christians will be persecuted

They already are being persecuted,if you're not, perhaps you need to ask yourself why.

I have nothing further to say to you and I pray you find peace in your life

Amen, Blogger. In the end times, we as the Body of Christ will survive, not any one church. We’ll have to help each other regardless of church affiliation.
