The Catholic Church isn’t any different or any better then any of the other sects of the church.

We could always ask how many people were burned at the stake by Baptists vs Catholics, lowest number wins.

[Cronos]

The Church isn’t a sect — the sects are the small cults outside The Church. And these don’t really last — if you see the first gasp of Protestants like the lutherans, Anglicans, Calvinists, they’re dying out. The second gasp like Unitarians, Presbyterians are dying out faster. The third gasp includes Christian Scientists, Baptists etc. The fourth being the most virulent strain are Mormons, Jehovah’s Witnesses etc....

The Catholic Church isn’t a sect.

***We could always ask how many people were burned at the stake by Baptists vs Catholics, lowest number wins.***

We could also ask which Church preserves the Gospel of Jesus and the Faith that we were instructed in by God and not man. The man with the right map and who is Judged worthy of salvation by the Grace of God gets eternal, well, salvation.

first point first...it is different and it is better. people burned at the stake were primarily prisoners of the state...not trying to exclude Catholicism from any responsibility, but I could failly easily justify their behavior if necessary. Now let's get into numbers....the number of Christian souls lost through the "reformation" and leading people away from the true church must be staggering....millions I'd say, and the Baptists are as guilty as any of the other "denominations"
