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.

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.

I believe it was you who began casting stones inside of the glass house, brother. The Pope has apologized to the Jews and to Protestants who were persecuted by overzealous men in the name of the Church. Where is the Protestant apology?

Oh, well, considering that there is no central "mouthpiece" for this group of people, I suppose we won't hear any apology, will we? Does that mean you can go around and blame the Catholics for all of the evil perpetrated in the name of Christ?

Regards
