These are the St. Lambert's cages in Munster. 480 years the mutilated bodies of Anabaptists who had been horribly tortured to death by Lutherans were displayed in them. They prayed as they were gutted alive, but I guess nobody was listening? Or maybe we all know that prayers aren't dollars into a vending machine and you're just being an asinine troll?

Like Rome had sanctioned against the Waldensian Church.

It is more complex than you portrayed.

For anyone more objective, here is a historical account.

Not pleasant, but the Anabaptists were also Anti-Catholic, and I don’t think the Catholics were much nicer to them. Then there were what the radical Anabaptists did when they took up arms. Christendom in general has had it’s share of things not very praiseworthy.
