Most humans want to have the freedom, to be right or wrong.
Some people in this world don’t want us to have that freedom, such as
Liberals, Democrats, dictators, and popes.
Few victims of the popes:
Waldensians.
Cathars.
John Wycliff/Lollards.
Jan Hus/Hussites.
....just to name a few million
Has anyone heard of any aplogies from “the spokesman for Christ”
so called?
Boniface VIII was the norm.
Unam Sanctum B.S.
How could anybody be a Roman Catholic knowing history?
By being born into it from the cradle.
Beware of wolves in shepherds clothing.

The Word of God is the only rule for faith and practice.

“Most humans want to have the freedom, to be right or wrong.”

There’s nothing wrong with freedom, but freedom without truth is worthless.

“Some people in this world don’t want us to have that freedom, such as Liberals, Democrats, dictators, and popes.”

Popes believe in freedom. They also believe in truth and know the former is worthless without the latter.

“Few victims of the popes:
Waldensians.”

Nope. Waldensians victimized themselves when they chose heresy and schism.

“Cathars.”

Nope. Cathars victimized themselves when they chose heresy and schism and violence.

“John Wycliff/Lollards.”

John Wycliffe was never a “victim” of any pope. He died in his bed after a stroke. Lollards were persecuted by the state and Church in England not the pope.

“Jan Hus/Hussites.”

Nope. Hus chose his own fate by choosing to embrace heresy. Hussites chose their own fate by violently supporting heresy and war.

“....just to name a few million”

No.

“Has anyone heard of any aplogies from “the spokesman for Christ” so called?”

Yes. If you’re ignorant of those apologies that only tells us about you not the Church or the pope. It’s the information age. The only reason to be ignorant today is out of bigotry: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_apologies_made_by_Pope_John_Paul_II

“Boniface VIII was the norm.”

How I wish that were the case.

“Unam Sanctum B.S.”

No, but your post certainly is.

“How could anybody be a Roman Catholic knowing history?”

I’m Catholic. I have a PhD in History. You really aren’t doing very well in this effort.

“By being born into it from the cradle.”

And?

“Beware of wolves in shepherds clothing.”

I agree - beware of Protestants. They lie. They are ignorant. They make things up out of thin air.

“The Word of God is the only rule for faith and practice.”

No, it isn’t. And the Bible doesn’t claim that it is either.
