Well I am not a fan of Catholics and I know thast up untill the last 100 years catholics were the leading killers of Christains and jews.

And let me guess, the Jesuits killed Abraham Lincoln too. You know what, I pity you. Your blind hatred and ignorance is blinding you. Just as we have Bloody Mary, you have Elizabeth. Don't dilude yourself into believing everything you read.

Through the 2000 year history of The Church, from Peter to John Paul II, there have been bad men and women who in the name of Christ committed great evil. They will be judged for their actions by Christ. However, through the last 2000 years, men and women in the name of Christ have spread the Gospel from Judea to the entire world. Men and women in the name of Christ have past on learning, the scripture through Dark Ages. Men and women have devoted their lives to Christ, lives of prayer and sacrifice. Men and Women have been martyred throughout the world. Men and Women in the name of Christ have stood up against oppression and evil. The Roman Catholic Church today continues the mission that Christ gave the apostles, the sins of that Church are not Christ's, but are a sign of the sinful humanity that its members possess. The message of The Church is not wrong or misguided, sometimes the messanger might be.

I am, you have by now grasped, a Roman Catholic. I am saddenned to see the venom that you have. We are called to be righteous, we are also called to Love.

God Bless

Where did you hear or read this?

**I know thast up untill the last 100 years catholics were the leading killers of Christains and jews.**

Where are you getting this information? What is your authority for such an absurd remark. I know Catholics have made mistakes, what denomination hasn't?

But this accusation doesn't hold water.

**I know thast up untill the last 100 years catholics were the leading killers of Christains and jews.**

And who killed all the Catholics during World War II? And who discriminated against the Irish Catholics in the United States?

Maybe you have forgotten this famous quote!

"First they came for the Jews
and I did not speak out --
because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for the communists
and I did not speak out --
because I was not a communist.
Then they came for the trade unionists
and I did not speak out --
because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for me --
and there was no one left to speak out for me."
~~Pastor Martin Niemoller
(victim of the Nazis)

Is there anything we can learn from this?
When they came for the Catholics?
When they came for the Baptists?
When they came for the fundamentalists?
When they came for the agnostics?

Just something for all of us to think about -- is this picture larger than we currently see it?
