Like Tyndale? Murdered by command of Cardinal Wolsey
Protestants burned numerous woman at the stake for being accused of witches. And who can blame the Church for defending the Word of God from people who actually changed the wording to suit their own deviant theology. Did you know Tyndale and Luther changed words in the Holy Writ for that purpose?
The sins of individual men do not make the Work of Christ in establishing His Church 2000 years ago null and void. Otherwise, who would have followed a religion that had one of its 12 betray the Master and the rest ran away during the Master's hour? Have no fear, Christ promised a stiff punishment for those who "lead His children to sin"...
The point remains - Did Jesus establish a Church or a Bible? Is the Rock sacred Scriptures or Peter and his successors?
Revelation 6:9 ¶And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held
Yes, these are the saintly martyrs of the Church killed by the Roman Empire and other secular authorities. You think the Hugenots were righteous people of God? Do some reading about them. I find it a bit silly to think that John was speaking about the Church - being that he was one of its Apostles...
Sure, it's easy to judge other people - you seem to be very good at it - but this has no effect on what Christ did 2000 years ago. Like it or not, Jesus established a Rock and built His Church upon it - and the Gates of Hell shall not prevail against it. I would assume this even means against bad Catholics who come and go..

How quaint....... you actually believe that the church that Jesus Christ founded and died for would actually murder people for having Bibles.
Obviously, whatever church you claim to be a part of is a false church.
