bigots like you would be first line to torch a few papists. My. my. Getting a little personal, aren't we...
Actually, I have no ax to grind with the Catholic Church - was just reminding folk of the history of the church and it's followers.
My ancestors, on the other hand, were among those hunted for burning, because they owned a Bible and believed God gave man a right to follow the Jesus they read about in the Bible. They didn't seek to slaughter Catholics, they simply fought to be free to worship as they believed without fear of being crispy crittered for it.

No, your version of "history" is nothing but myth and fantasy and bigotry. 99% of what you believe about the Catholic Church is false.

Also, the Black Myth of the Spanish Inquisition was largely a Protestant fabrication.
