Notwithstanding the sins of some Catholics, do you realize that Martin Luther wrote the fundamental antisemitic treatise with language that was the foundation of German antisemitism leading to the murder of 6 million Jews ? And what of the lawyer John Calvin, who has the blood of Michael Servetus on his hands ? after he [Servetus] had been recognized, I thought he should be detained. My friend Nicolas summoned him on a capital charge, offering himself as a security according to the lex talionis. On the following day he adduced against him forty written charges. He at first sought to evade them. Accordingly we were summoned. He impudently reviled me, just as if he regarded me as obnoxious to him. I answered him as he deserved... of the man’s effrontery I will say nothing; but such was his madness that he did not hesitate to say that devils possessed divinity; yea, that many gods were in individual devils, inasmuch as a deity had been substantially communicated to those equally with wood and stone. I hope that sentence of death will at least be passed on him; but I desired that the severity of the punishment be mitigated.[31]

And need we explore the atrocities of the first Protestant, Henry VIII and his ministers ?

or Oliver Cromwell ?

Go for it!

If you think that will somehow offset the SINS of the One True Church leaders...
