You’re right, back in those days, the catholic church never imprisoned, tortured, or had any heretics burned. So I wouldn’t even worry about it if I were you. But yes,, the church at the time if the reformation was not anything of jesus, and the reform was fully justified.

And a very sane reading if it all is that the roman church split away from christianity by trying to become the ultimate superior, rather than an equal among the early churches,,, as christ intended.

“You’re right, back in those days, the catholic church never imprisoned, tortured, or had any heretics burned.”

Well, feel free to quote where I wrote this.

You said, “Christ never murderered, ergo any Church who has killed people in their name cannot be his Church”.

But this is not what Christ taught. Christ taught that we are all sinners, and that simply ‘not murdering people’ isn’t good enough.

So I ask again. If we are all sinners how can we be His Church?
