I thought the same for a long time, until I did my research.
I’m not going to say that the RC didn’t kill anybody, because it did. It is a world power.

However, my own research suggests that the RC church was actually putting people on trial to try and save their lives. These people were going to die by the state’s hands. They were condemned. The RC church had no standing army to rescue people, so it resorted to holding trials of its own to see if they were guilty of the crimes they were accused of by the state.

They were already sentenced to death anyway, so holding a trial by the church ensured that, if they were going to die, it’s because they were actually guilty of the crime they were accused of.

Hi roving,

I am no fan of the Catholic church. Based on the Pope's published views I am more inclined to believe the current church is, or is becoming, the whore of Babylon discussed (mostly) by dispensationalists.

However, I think you should support your statement. You are saying the Catholic church brutally murdered somewhere between 160,000,000-200,000,000 men, women, and children. That is a disgusting claim if untrue.

I suspect you are lying or you are believing and posting a lie.

Please provide the links. I will happily retract this post and apologize once verification is provided. Thank you
