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.

Um . . . what exactly happened in 1959?

Wait. Is this about the Buddy Holly thing?

You do know how many hundreds of years your institution was in power in tandem with secular Roman emperors, don’t you? Your wonderful church-state arrangement. In times when they would not blink an eye to murder anybody whose beliefs they viewed as a threat to their power. You are only fooling yourself, lady. You are not fooling Protestants.

I’m not magnifying anything, truth is, the RCC is one of the most tyrannical and totalitarian institutions in history. It has more in common with Islamic terrorism than anything else.
