I had no idea that were so many ill informed posters at Free Republic. It is very sad.
There are uninformed posters here at FreeRepublic and you are one of them. Let me quote you from the Catholic Encyclopedia regarding Pope Innocent III “One of the greatest popes of the Middle Ages” ... “He called upon France to raise an army for the suppression of the Albigenses.” Get it why someone who was reasonably informed might have problems with the Catholic Church based on its historical actions? The pope called on the government to make war on people who weren’t Christians the way the Pope defined Christianity. That is a fact and your own histories agree that it is so, and your histories call such men “great.” I think otherwise, and I don’t do so from a position of ignorance. You won’t be convinced by anything I say, so I’m not going to get in a long thread to show you your errors. It’s enough to say I agree with .45.
