There were horrors for centuries until Christians broke free from the Catholic domination, once they did, within a relatively short time after only a few generations of separation from Catholic domination the Christian world settled down to a better place.

Well tell that to my Catholic ancestors who fled Calvinist persecution in Germany.

Yeah, I get it, there was naturally a shake out period as after a 1000 years of forced Catholicism, people broke free, and had bad feelings and had to fight to remain free, but as they got farther away from their Catholic roots and Rome accepted that they were strong enough to remain free, things settled down within a few generations.

Where did your Catholic ancestors flee to and when?
