OK, perhaps we should first address “Catholic Love” starting with the Crusades—then on to the Inquisition and the Jesuits in America—but only in the condensed version of course—life being short and all that.

But do go on about “Protestant hate” FRiend, you have me amused.

Ah the tired old historic misrepresentations that the left love to use against the Church, I think you took a wrong turn at DU, sure you belong on FR? LOL

The Crusades: the war of liberation of Eastern Christendom from Muslim invaders.

The Holy Inquisition: the ecclesial court whose task it is to get rid of corrupt Catholic clergy. We sorely need one in the United States today.

The Jesuits: colleges, universities, hospitals, protection of the indigenous population from colonizers.

Like anything else the Holy Mother Church does, they are acts of love.

As someone already remarked on this thread, it would be a good idea to educate yourself on the matters you are posting about.

May the Lord bless the Holy Father richly and give him a long pontificate.
