Maimonides lived in Muslim cultures. Many students are surprised he addressed Christianity at all. It is unclear if he knew anything about Christianity first-hand.
I recall shock when I first heard from a well-known Torah teacher that Roman Catholicism (not just ‘Christians’) had killed *ten million* Jews down through the centuries long before the Nazi Holocaust. Perhaps I heard wrong or there was a misunderstanding.
Then later I heard the same number and story from a well-known Torah teacher from a very different kind of Torah school of thought.
It still agitates my mind.

That is NOT the ekklesia that Yah'shua was speaking about. The Roman "church" would prefer if everyone forgot history.

As usual exaggeration on the numbers. Of course, that would probably not mention the (admittedly) small events on the other side like the King of Yemen etc.
