“Oh, good grief. Whatever. Baptists spread the word of God and contend for the faith just fine.”
Baptists only spread the Word of God as they see it - not as it actually exists. They only spread the faith as they see it - which only dates back to 1600 and was not given by Christ.
“It was a POPE who betrayed the Crusaders — the Knights Templar, by the way.”
No. It was the King of France, Philip the Fair, who betrayed the Knights Templars. The pope at the time, Clement V, had every reason to believe Philip’s reports. A papal court later exonerated the Templars but the order was already dissolved at that point. By the way, the Templars were not the only crusaders. They were one of many crusading orders and most crusaders were never members of any crusading order anyway. I spent years studying this stuff and I doubt that you have.
You know nothing about me — and do not know what I have studied or not — so don’t assume. That’s mind-reading, by the way. As for the other, no, spreading falsehoods and heresy are what Catholics do best. Spreading God’s Word is what Baptists do — not a made-up Gospel handed down from a “made up history”.
Re: Clement, he was no innocent. History shows they were clearly allies — he and Philippe le Bel. Nice attempt at a save, but he was as guilty as Philippe in the accusations, tortures, and killings.
Catholics would tend to slat things I’ve found. Or make stuff up like the assumption of Mary.
Pity you didn't use that valuable time studying the scriptures instead...
