Let's be clear on one point. The Catholic Church never tortured or executed anyone. It was always a Civil Authority. Look it up.
Who "owned" the Civil Authorities you ask? Why the Catholic Church did.
As Roseannadanna used to say; "Never Mind"!
If this is before your time just Google Gilda Radner and "Never Mind".
Better yet watch this clip. Never Mind
You can’t possibly be that ignorant unless you’re talking about a building. Have you ever heard of the inquisition? Let me give you one paragraph that might get you started “proving your point”.
In NEWS1675, we revealed that one of the psychological devices priests used to get their female penitents to have sex with them was the threat to lie to the "Holy" Inquisition, so the woman would be torturously murdered. Since history books have been largely rewritten, few people know specific details of this murderous campaign that lasted over 1,200 years, killing 75 million people. But, once you understand the unprecedented horrors of the Inquisition, you will never look at Roman Catholicism the same way again. (http://www.cuttingedge.org/news/n1676.cfm)
I’m sure from that you will do some serious investigating to prove them wrong.
