“Cstho;ics have murdered tens of thousands in the name of God. They have very bloody hands.”

Absolutely. Many church leaders use peoples faith and desire to serve God for their own selfish agendas. The bible says these people will receive a harsh judgment for their actions.

To my knowledge the modern catholic church does not resort to violence anymore. I don’t see where the catholic church is a force for God in the world though.

The issues I have with the Catholics are:
1. individuals like those on this thread that seek to spread discord among Christians instead of spreading Gods word.
2. the idol worship
3. making the Pope a demi-god
4. requiring an intermediary for salvation
5. assigning a non-biblical importance to Mary and placing her on equal station to Jesus
6. the “I can do anything I want as long as I go to Mass” attitude of many Catholics I’ve known.

I’m sure I’ll get flamed now but I’m attempting to do this in a respectful way.

I’m Catholic and my hands are spotless. What about the many thousands of Catholics murdered by Protestants in Ireland, Scotland, Northern Germany? I guess that would mean Protestants are covered in blood right?
