I'm sure that the Catholics would like to sweep their bloody history under the rug.

Talk about jumping to conclusions. What many Catholics would like to get rid of is the distortion of history by the enemies of the Church. There is no major movement, religion, or civilization whose history has been WITHOUT blood.

We Predestinarians seem to have been on the short end of almost all of it. You would be amazed at the roll call of the blessed martyrs for the number of Predestinarians slaughtered by Rome and her illegitmate Arminian offspring.

"I'm sure that the Catholics would like to sweep their bloody history under the rug."

And the Jews would like to sweep the crucifixion under the rug, hence all the protest over the Gibson film.
All these events are hundreds of years in the past. People whose ancestors were involved should be able to acknowledge the fact without having to assume any guilt and let it go. Time and energy would be far better spent trying to do something about the atrocities that still go on today, such as in the Muslim world.
