You sure jump through hoops trying to sanitize Rome’s tyranny. Next thing, maybe you’ll tell us how wonderful Rome was in only strangling William Tyndale at the stake instead of burning him alive. And for the terrible crime of trying to get the Bible to the common people.
I am not jumping through hoops. Reasonable people are interested in the historical facts. Nobody can justify, and I do not justify, the murder of people because of their beliefs or convictions, no matter what their religious affiliation. All of us --- Protestant, Catholic - have that in our history. There were wars of religion all through the 16th century in the Reformation era, both sides killing fellow Christian and dishonoring the name of Christ.
Those who wish to ceaselessly magnify and inflame those dreadful passions from 55 years ago should have no place on this Forum. It does not serve Christian charity: and the gross exaggerations do not serve Christian Truth. Let us repent of historic crime and be done with it.
The tagline is for you, in all good will.
