If you are going to bring up the past, we can match you atrocity for atrocity. Whereever Protestants have been in power, they too have used government to oppress others. You Protestants remember St. Bart's Day; Catholics remind us that Huguenots used to wear chains around their necks of the ears of priests. Proddies talks about" Bloody Mary," but celebrate her sister,"Good Queen Bess" whose secret service executed hundreds of Catholics and Puritans. The English still celebrate Guy Fawkes Days, in celebration of a desperate attempt by Catholic to rid themselves of a despotic Protestant government. What the English did in Ireland under Elizabrth, under Cromwell and under William of Orange is well known at least to Catholics. Nor was Protestant intolerance limited to papists. Remember the Quakers that the New England Puritans hung? We both can thank men James Madison and others for finally devising a form of government in which Christians and Jews can generally live in piece. But let us not forget the anti-Catholic riots in Charleston and Louisville, NOR the fact that the Southern Baptist Convention exists today because in 1845 THEY chose slavery over freedom.

As I said before your last rant, this has nothing to do with what I was discussing. I didn't mention any specific "atrocities" (as you did), nor did I bring up the past. I'm talking about a continuing present condition (it is not new).
