The Catholic Church isn’t any different or any better then any of the other sects of the church. We could always ask how many people were burned at the stake by Baptists vs Catholics, lowest number wins.

first point first...it is different and it is better. people burned at the stake were primarily prisoners of the state...not trying to exclude Catholicism from any responsibility, but I could failly easily justify their behavior if necessary. Now let's get into numbers....the number of Christian souls lost through the "reformation" and leading people away from the true church must be staggering....millions I'd say, and the Baptists are as guilty as any of the other "denominations"

You see therein lies the rub, you are misinformed about what the “true church” happens to be because you accept the dogma of your sect of “the true church”. The church started way before the Catholic Church, which is just another branch of the church, not the root.
