[Dr. Eckleburg]

lol. Are you kidding? Rome lets itself off the hook continually. Rome didn't err. The "legitimate governments" erred and Rome was simply remiss in looking the other way. lol. Yeah, that's the ticket. Rome didn't exert any influence during the Inquisition. It was all those nasty civil authorities.

In times past, cruel practices were commonly used by legitimate governments to maintain law and order, often without protest from the Pastors of the Church, who themselves adopted in their own tribunals the prescriptions of Roman law concerning torture. Regrettable as these facts are, the Church always taught the duty of clemency and mercy. She forbade clerics to shed blood...

Rome lies.

Calvin lies. Luther lies. Protestantism is a systematic lie.
