The nastiness cuts both ways.

No, I am afraid it is all one way. I've never heard of this sort of uncharity among Roman Catholics at any time since the misbegotten Latin Crusade.

"No, I am afraid it is all one way. I've never heard of this sort of uncharity among Roman Catholics at any time since the misbegotten Latin Crusade."

As a Catholic I would have to say that you may wish to brush up on your history of the church in eastern Europe Our church has used force and other unpleasant means as late as the 19th century to supress the Orthodox faith in territory then under Catholic rule. In fairness the reverse is also true and that as late as the supression by the Soviet Union under Stalin (with the full cooperation of the Russian Church) of Ukrainian Rite Catholics. Both sides have a long history of injustice towards the other. If we are all going to point fingers at each other and recite the litany of wrongs committed by the other side we will still be at it come the final judgement. Charity and a true desire for justice requires admission of wrong where it has been done, and forgiveness where one has been offered apology.
