Is that what I said? No, what I am saying is this: The Roman Catholic persecuted the christians throughout the known world (at that time). Just read Fox's Book of Martyrs, and be prepared to have a vomit bad ready. You'll need it when you read what the catholic church did to those who wouldn't bow down to their "rule."

One-sided 16th Century polemic isn't history. It's just polemic. You would do well to read history written by both sides, and by people on no side at all.

Plenty of those "christians" you admire killed Catholics with the same vigor with which you'd step on a cockroach. The Elizabethan England John Foxe called home murdered hundreds of priests. They killed pregnant Margaret Clitherow by crushing her under rocks. Her crime was giving a priest a place to spend the night.
