LOL if you say so. They were kooks who got people murdered can we agree on that? Nothing Biblical about those two groups. Satan twisted and added stuff to the Bible and so did Satan’s disciples Koresh and Jones.

Hey, since Catholics seem to feel free to define Protestants and Protestantism, we are non-Catholics are free to define Catholics and Catholicism and decide who is and isn't Catholic. Like, Kennedy, Pelosi, Chavez, child molesting priests, all whom the Catholic church owns and serves communion to. Not to mention other groups such as the Society of Saint Pius X (FSSPX) and sedevacantists.

Had to look it up, but remember this bishop from my Catholic HS European AP history. Where did bishops like this go to:)?

It is popularly believed that maces were employed by the clergy in warfare to avoid shedding blood [2] (sine effusione sanguinis). The evidence for this is sparse and appears to derive almost entirely from the depiction of Bishop Odo of Bayeux wielding a club-like mace at the Battle of Hastings in the Bayeux Tapestry, the idea being that he did so to avoid either shedding blood or bearing the arms of war. The fact that his brother Duke William carries a similar item suggests that, in this context, the mace may have been simply a symbol of authority.[3] Certainly, other Bishops were depicted bearing the arms of a knight without comment, such as Archbishop Turpin who bears both a spear and a sword named "Almace" in The Song of Roland or Bishop Adhemar of Le Puy, who also appears to have fought as a knight during the First Crusade, an expedition that Odo also joined.[4](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mace_(club))
