Nice lie, bert. Glad to hear useless comments from the American Taliban.
Nice lie, bert.
Not really a lie. Have you read about the Albigensian Crusade, the Inquisition, the persecution of Protestants in the Netherlands by Charles V, or the St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre? These events really happened. In each case, the Pope either initiated or celebrated the results.
Not Catholic-bashing, just trying to be accurate.
Perhaps you need enlightened.
ON 24 june 1209, Pope Innocent III unleashed Simon de Montfort on the Christians of southern France because they did not submit to his orthodoxy. He slaughtered 20,000 in their homes and villages. Since they were dead, it was no problem to appropriate all their lands and goods.
Once the wholsale killing was over, it was only a small step to the Inquisition lasting 300 years or so.
I suggest you spend a little more time with the books.
