Who in the hell is the Pope to have anybody ARRESTED?

And who in the hell was the King of England to have Catholic priests decapitated? And who in the hell was the King of Spain to have Jews deported? And who in the hell was the Queen of France to say 'Let 'em eat cake'? It was a different era. They did things differently back then. Deal with it.

some respond to the gospel by becoming simpletons. Like y’all have to give up your authority and position in life. what an absurd religion. We could all live like the Amish, right Desert?

LOL,, The difference, is that nobody defends the actions of those other despots, or claims they represented Jesus.
And im dealing with it fine, looking straight at it and saying that anyone who did those things back then was a flaming Ahole. Even if they happened to be a papist.
