A critical remark about Biblical fundamentalism from the head of a church who famously murdered 50,000 Albigenians, as many Cathars and Waldensians. Then moved on the the medieval inquisitions in Spain, Portugal, employing the Dominicans and Jesuits to carry out Gregory XIII Inquisition. Then on thru the ages right up to the Condordat of 1929 with Mussolini turning a blind eye to the killing of 800,000 Bosnians and Croats, with the tacit approval of Pope Pious IX. It has been estimated that since 1177 the mass murder of "heretics" ordered by the popes have grown to between 70 million and 100 million. Of course, the catholics did not employ beheading routinely. They perfected the art of racking, stretching, the garruchua, strappado, toca, malleus malefactor, and then on to the skinning and or burning, even children, alive on a wooden pyre.

And this pope dares to declare moral equivalency of terrorist Muslims and fundamental Bible-believing Christians? Look in the mirror Francis. Where are the Archbishops to rein him in?

of course those nice protestants merely burned witches at the stake, right?.....

you lump the entire human existence and blame the Catholics for it.....Catholics are humans, and humans commit sins.....no worse than the Jews, the Baptists, the muzzies , etc...

Your opinion and conclusions are suspect.

Yea, well the Salem Witch trials, the puritans killed and tortured and burned at the stake over 130 million men women and children. And that’s in Salem alone.

Then there were the Chinese Buddhists that killed with their bare kung fu hands over 235 million in 13 years.

The Amish, they had secret gas chambers and gassed over 600m non believers.

And Jehovah Witness’s. They’re the worst of the lot. The torture over 200 million everyday.

Making up facts is fun, isn’t it?

I had no idea. I just searched for inquisitions and the torture was horrendous. An interesting study would be the righteous retribution brought about by God. Invasion? I’ll have to do it when I have time. Israel was invaded when they were sacrificing children so I can’t see God letting this go unpunished. He has to defend His name when we are defaming it. It would be smart to stop calling America a Christian nation when we murder our unborn.
