——>But, in fairness to the authors, this piece of misleading garbage historical analysis was written in 1910 so it pre dated and missed out on 20th century heyday of mass murder and genocide most of which was not just anti christian, anti clerical and anti church - it was atheistic and antagonistic to religion of any type by basic nature.
My focus is bible prophecy and the 1260 YEARS of Papal persecution. Torture, murder, war, death, purposeful neglect, abuse, etc... 200+ million killed? Probably even more. The article does a good job of bringing this out.
While it is beyond dispute that the Catholic church has not always been on the side of the angels, this is part of the human condition.
It is also beyond dispute that the Catholic Church and Christianity in general has been the greatest force for civilization, peace and improving the lives of people around the world that has ever existed.
Lets add in the French Revolution for another case of anti clerical mass murder.
