With all due respect, do not accuse me of hiding behind anything. I asked you specifically for CATHOLIC support for terrorists. Baptists are NOT Catholic therefore, they do not listen to the Pope.
 
Regardless of the distinction between the two (which isnt really the topic of our discussion) the laws will likely remain the same for all religion and sects. My original point was "Christians" are very well capable of violence and terrorism in the name of religion. You are insinuate a seperate topic about the dictinctions between the various sects. If you want the worst example of Christians violence and atrocities in India then read about the Goan inquisition done by the Portuguese Catholics. The atrocities against Hindus lasted until just a few decades ago when Goa achieved freedom from Portuguese tyranny. Maybe the Pope should apologize for the atrocities against Hindus in Goa before he lectures us about religious freedom.

Yup -- in the 16th century, which caused a backlash from Hindus. So both sides committed atrocities, and both have been smart enough not to go down that path and in fact both have condemned the acts of violence

Proof? Hindus in Goa were 60% of the population BEFORE it was liberated by India.

I think he already has -- as part of the wider apology for the excesses of the inquisition.
