“The evils perpetrated by Catholic leaders throughout its history are documented facts, FRiend.”

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?

Are you sure the the word "Revisionist" isn't in the wording somewhere? LOLOL!

You, having done more research than I is debatable. Having played a role in one or two modest historical projects myself, involving multiple universities with thousands of dollars on the line, not to mention the reputations of several large organizations, I know the importance of selecting researchers who are fair and unbiased. I'm not too sure anyone with your kind of blinders on would qualify.

Then again, this is nothing more than a distraction on your part in lieu of evidence proving your claim that the church played no part in the Inquisition. Those thousands put to horrific death will not be silenced and will be avenged one day and probably in the not too distant future as even your own Catholic seers have predicted.
