I stated as much. Up until roughly the 1500’s, however, the RCC was brutal against anyone who disagreed with their theology.

Repeating again -- no RCC exists/existed, there is The Church, period. Secondly, does that mean that you support Gnostics like the Cathar who taught that Yhwh was a demiurge and not true God whereas Christ came from a "higher" God?

Thirdly -- the orthodox catholic Church hardly participated in any persecutions, as the other posts here state, the civil authorities even during the inquisition were brutal whereas the religious courts only had a 20% conviction (as opposed to 90% of the civil courts) and no torture like the civil courts

Civil courts will be more brutal -- like the Salem witch hunt courts...
