"What? Do you pretend that it doesn’t exist?"

Do you want to include in the discussion the suppression of the Irish by Protestants, the Protestant Inquisition (yes, there was one), the witch trials conducted by Protestants, oppression of Catholics throughout the Nordic countries from the reformation through the 19th century, or more recently the actions of the German Christian (official Nazi Protestant) Church against the catholics who perished in the holocaust?

When people fight back, that doesn’t make them the bad guys and Catholics innocent.

They share the blame in Ireland in violence, are not innocent in their treatment of those called witches, and were not the only ones to die in Hitler’s concentration camps. Plenty of Protestant Christians who risked all to hide the Jews and help them escape.

You can’t say that the Nazi’s were Christians because of the name they bore. You just dissociated yourself from Catholics who support abortion as not being real Catholics. Likewise for those who called themselves Christians who participated in the Holocaust.’

No Catholic can afford to put themselves of criticizing other denominations.

Which excuses exactly . . . what?
