It’s also not me. It’s also not the majority of Catholics. It’s crazy for anyone to call for a present day return to the violent “elimination” of non-Catholic Christians.

No one of any importance in Catholicism is suggesting that. Only nutjobs on the Internet. That’s just a fact.

Quite frankly I find it difficult to believe anyone on FR suggests it would be or was ever “good” to kill Protestants/ non-Catholic Christians. “Understandable” maybe given the history and culture of the time, but objectively good? Never. (Because merely understanding the motivations for an act is not the same as condoning it) I find it nearly incredulous to believe anyone could seriously suggest such acts were “good” and still consider themselves a Catholic.

It seems to me there must be a misunderstanding somewhere. Probably on both “sides” that’s usually the case anyway for most disagreements. (IMO)

But maybe there are such nutjobs here. If so they aren’t real Catholics and should be zotted, to be as blunt as I can.
