"Dennis Prager recently wrote that historians, Jewish and Catholic, place the number of executions by the Inquisition at about 5,000."

Over a period of hundreds of years. The US killed over ten times that many innocent citizens in one day, at Hiroshima. Henry VIII alone executed thousands of religious dissenters. Martin Luther was a rapid anti-Semite who advocated burning synagogues and the homes of Jews. But most present-day Catholics and most Protestants do not dwell on the sins of the past but focus on our own sins and those of our present society. You contribute NOTHING to making this a better world or doing real evangelizing, just dredging up the sins of the past, over and over. At least, that's how it looks to me.

So what your saying is that Harry Truman would have made a great catholic? Or would he have been excommunicated?

How about the current catholic in the white house? Saint or excommunicated?

Protestantism didn’t murder those people, a guy did, a Catholic King in a Catholic culture in flux and transition, while the centuries of the Inquisition were official policy of Catholicism, a single denomination.
