You will finds that dodging questions and bearing false witness against the Catholic Church is standard practice among the prots here. Confronted with the truth they will run the other way as fast was humanly possible.

The absolute worst are the ones that claim to have been Catholics previously

Many of them are decent folks. Others... well... some at least give a good, convincing simulation of having gone off their meds, after a few posts... and they have a tendency to bring out the worst in others (especially others who dislike/hate/fear the Catholic Church).

Keep fighting the good fight!

Pope Stephen VI (896–897), who had his predecessor Pope Formosus exhumed, tried, de-fingered, briefly reburied, and thrown in the Tiber.[1]

Pope John XII (955–964), who gave land to a mistress, murdered several people, and was killed by a man who caught him in bed with his wife.

Pope Benedict IX (1032–1044, 1045, 1047–1048), who "sold" the Papacy

Pope Boniface VIII (1294–1303), who is lampooned in Dante's Divine Comedy

Pope Urban VI (1378–1389), who complained that he did not hear enough screaming when Cardinals who had conspired against him were tortured.[2]

Pope Alexander VI (1492–1503), a Borgia, who was guilty of nepotism and whose unattended corpse swelled until it could barely fit in a coffin.[3]

Pope Leo X (1513–1521), a spendthrift member of the Medici family who once spent 1/7 of his predecessors' reserves on a single ceremony[4]

Pope Clement VII (1523–1534), also a Medici, whose power-politicking with France, Spain, and Germany got Rome sacked.
