The evils perpetrated by Catholic leaders throughout its history are documented facts, FRiend. Don't take my word for it though. I encourage you and anyone interested in the horrific slaughter of thousands by the Catholic church to research it for yourself. To deny the inquisition it akin to denying the Holocaust. And it wasn't just the "Bible believers" (later to become protestants) who were put to death, but people of other faiths as well.

Allow me to leave you some scripture detailing just one of Yeshua's encounters with the manmade religious authorities of his day:
The Authority of the Son (John 5 NIV)
16 So, because Jesus was doing these things [he had healed the invalid at the pool] on the Sabbath, the Jewish leaders began to persecute him. 17 In his defense Jesus said to them, “My Father is always at his work to this very day, and I too am working.” 18 For this reason they tried all the more to kill him; not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but he was even calling God his own Father, making himself equal with God.
19 Jesus gave them this answer: “Very truly I tell you, the Son can do nothing by himself; he can do only what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son also does. 20 For the Father loves the Son and shows him all he does. Yes, and he will show him even greater works than these, so that you will be amazed. 21 For just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, even so the Son gives life to whom he is pleased to give it. 22 Moreover, the Father judges no one, but has entrusted all judgment to the Son, 23 that all may honor the Son just as they honor the Father. Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father, who sent him.
24 “Very truly I tell you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be judged but has crossed over from death to life. 25 Very truly I tell you, a time is coming and has now come when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God and those who hear will live. 26 For as the Father has life in himself, so he has granted the Son also to have life in himself. 27 And he has given him authority to judge because he is the Son of Man.
28 “Do not be amazed at this, for a time is coming when all who are in their graves will hear his voice 29 and come out—those who have done what is good will rise to live, and those who have done what is evil will rise to be condemned. 30 By myself I can do nothing; I judge only as I hear, and my judgment is just, for I seek not to please myself but him who sent me.

Leaders? Yes, some. Members? Yes, some. The Catholic Church? No. I don’t blame the Church for what some of its members did.
“Don’t take my word for it though. I encourage you and anyone interested in the horrific slaughter of thousands by the Catholic church to research it for yourself.”
In this lifetime I have done more historical research than you ever will. I have a PhD in History with an emphasis in Church History.
“To deny the inquisition it akin to denying the Holocaust.”
I don’t deny the inquisitorial tribunals existed. What I deny are phony claims about them or understandings grounded in Protestant bigotry.
“And it wasn’t just the “Bible believers” (later to become protestants) who were put to death, but people of other faiths as well.”
But why let truth interfere with your fantasy?
