“The Catholics had already condemd Seretus to death as a heretic. He just escaped their paws.”

wikipedia: “On 4 April 1553 Servetus was arrested by Roman Catholic authorities, and imprisoned in Vienne. He escaped from prison three days later. On 17 June, he was convicted of heresy, “thanks to the 17 letters sent by John Calvin, preacher in Geneva”[27] and sentenced to be burned with his books. In his absence, he and his books were burned in effigy (blank paper for the books).”

Interesting.

“The Catholics massacure the peaceful Huguenots and hundreds more through the Jesuits’ Spanish Inquisition. There is far more. Don’t try to white wash Catholic history.”

The Huguenots were hardly peaceful. You seem to have forgotten about the Wars of Religion there, buddy. You might want to look up the Amboise conspiracy.

I find Wikipedia NOT to be a good source of religious history or theology. Like just about everything else these days, Wikipedia has a definite slant to it and one doesn't know who is editing the content.

As far as the Huguenot goes here is another perspective Huguenot History. The Amboise Conspiracy was a poor attempt by the Protestants to fight against Catholic persecution. Amboise Conspiracy Although Queen Elizabeth joined their cause, Calvin and other Reformers did not.

The bottom line in all of this is the murderous history sanctioned by the Catholic Church that you seem hesitant to admit. I suspect this flies in the face with how the Church tries to portray itself. As a Protestant, I have no problem in admiting the misbehavior of past Protestants because we are all sinners by nature and will run to sin at the first chance we get if not for the withholding power of God.
