Note the avenging angel holding a bloody sword in one hand and a cross in the other, looming over the fallen bodies of slaughtered Protestants.

Who were all as meek and sweet as lambs, right? No Protestants ever killed any Catholics, and that "Thirty Years War" stuff and the Lutheran conquest of Rome ... just myths.

You know that, at the first St. Bartholomew's day massacre, the killing went the other way, right?

Religious warfare and persecution is wrong, and both sides practiced it.

Unfamiliar with that one. When did Lutherans conquer Rome?

Your understanding of history is in error. There were no "two sides" to the "St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre."

That trecherous slaughter was not called "The St. Bartholomew's Day Battle."

The killing did NOT "go the other way." Thousands of men, women and children were routed from their sleep and had their throats cut.

You defend the indefensible and try to rewrite history at your own peril.
