History has also shown us that those sects which have the most rigid ritualistic practices are also the same sects which were the quickest to persecute Christians who refused to follow their ritualistic practices

Such as Calvin, Luther, the English "reformers", and the Puritans in America? How many thousands of priests, nuns and ordinary Catholics were killed in Protestant lands during the "Protestant Reformation" by mobs or by the will of the prince? Persecution in England was PARTICULARLY harsh. Ever hear of being "drawn and quartered"? English protesters were especially "fond" of that. Only recently have Catholics been allowed to worship freely there. In ENGLAND, for heaven's sake!

Oh, those loving Protestants...

Be careful of your accusations, brother.

Absolutely right. The persecution was wrong and should never have occurred.

Why is it that RC's are so reluctant to acknowledge the terrible deeds their sect did in the name of JESUS? I've seen RC posters proclaiming that it was good they persecuted those that refused to submit to their sects authority and I have yet to see a RC rebuke them for it.
