Actually, my family is among those being offered Spanish citizenship. Spain reached out to the family and most became Protestants, while some eventually became Catholics, in the New World.

So, spare me what it is that you claim to know, because it is not relevant. They were Jewish and were kicked out. They were heavily discriminated against in the Spanish colony they went to, but eventually became well-respected, despite not being allowed into the cities for many years.

Catholics always feel compelled to defend the atrocities perpetrated by Catholicism.

They cannot handle the truth about Catholic history and so make excuses for it.

“So, spare me what it is that you claim to know, because it is not relevant.”

Why are you so defensive? Also, the point is that Jews were not killed just because they didn’t become Catholics. They were sometimes forced out of Spain (absolutely true) but not murdered by the Church or crown for not converting.

” They were Jewish and were kicked out. They were heavily discriminated against in the Spanish colony they went to, but eventually became well-respected, despite not being allowed into the cities for many years.”

And they weren’t killed. That just proves me right. Thanks for the assist.
