Question

i mean they kill from rangeing50-70million christians whats your take? i dont wanna offend no one so dont think i am i even have a parent and friend thats a catholic so

Answer 1

Those that did the killing will be held accountable.
Nothing we can say or do will change the fact, that throughout history, many people killed many other people. I think it is more important to focus upon our actions as humans today, and try to become people who are not willing to oppress and kill others, no matter what their beliefs.
If everyone refused to kill another person, than we would no longer need to waste our resources by maintaining military forces.

Answer 2

Former Catholic,
now a Protestant.
"Fox's Book of Martyrs" is an excellent resource for understanding the persecution that Bible believing Christians were under at the hand of the Roman Catholic Church. Though rarely these days do we find overt persecution, Vatican II stands as a tribute for the contemptuous curses place on Protestants through the dogma of the Vatican. We are "Anathema" to the Vatican and the Holy See. And that gives me great pause for concern about the entire Ecumenical Movement begun by John Paul II and currently being promoted by Benedict.

Answer 3

Study the book of Daniel in conjunction with the book of revelation. These point to the Catholic Church being the 1st Beast of Revelation 13. The Antichrist system. And Sunday worship being its "Mark".
READ
Foxes Book of Martyrs.
The Short Short history of the reformation.
And the number is more like 150 million, historical fact.

Answer 4

My descendants were Huguenots, and fled France to get away from the Catholic Church. This is a part of history, just like slavery. We live with it and go on. I have many Catholic friends. It wouldn't cross my mind to hurt anyone because of religious beliefs, even though that is why many wars go on. Let us all learn from the past is my suggestion.

Answer 5

The Catholic church is guilty of killing more than Christians. The question should be, "Is anyone concerned about how many people the Catholic church has killed due to their inquisitions, crusades and sponsoring of invasions (exploration) of other countries, and support of kidnapping of Africans to South America, and killing of the Native Americans?"

Oh, I left out, sponsoring of hate groups against abortion clinics. And encouraging hate groups against gays; although, I don't understand that since so many priests are gay.

Answer 6

<> No, i'm not in contact. The Catholic Church does have ritual yet ritual, in and of itself, isn't a bad element. God approves of formality whether it fairly is executed the way He needs it carried out. <> This certainty on my own does not signify self-obvious credibility. <> then you are overlooking or ignoring a extensive tenant of Catholic Dogma. each Catholic knows of Jesus died for our sins and, without that Sacrifice, guy does not be reconciled to God. <> The Eucharist and Confession are 2 of 7 Holy Sacraments 2 of the seven approaches Sanctifying Grace is bestowed upon the believer. without Jesus' Sacrifice on the go, there may be no seven Holy Sacraments as sanctifying grace may be beside the point through fact guy does not be reconciled to guy. So, you notice, the seven Holy Sacraments exist precisely through go of Jesus. Confession and the Eucharist are the Sacraments the educational Catholic gets maximum oftentimes. Confession is gained a minimum of as quickly as a 365 days, quite oftentimes greater advantageous than that. The Eucharist is the source and summit of the Catholic faith. it rather is the physique and Blood of Jesus, so it rather is significant should not be trivialized. the Eucharist is important and worth of the attention that it gets. <> No. i've got faith - without question - Church Dogma.

Answer 7

Do you think it's only the catholic's? Who blew up abortion clinics? Who are we at war with? It's not a Catholic, Christian, Muslim, Jewish thing it's a religion thing. The single most fraudulent institution in the history of the world. The single institution that has been the cause of most wars. Your not even scratching the surface.

And they always need money, more, and more money.

Answer 8

It is dangerous to politicize history or science. To assume that catholics today pose a threat to life based on actions of many years ago is dangerous. Frist it generalizes behaviour form a past time to mean it is happening now. It is better to evaluiate what is actually happening in recent history and see if the actions are still taking place. For example- the Germans killed millions of so called misfits in WWII should we be concerned with them and their penchant for genocide now?

Umm when did they do the killing?? Not recently - probabaly has nothing to do with catholics living now-- It is about as relevent to ask are you concerned about the black or white or asian slave traders of the 1700's -- it is silly to attribute any guilt to those alive today

Brenda- Hitler did not use the bible as the primary backing for killing jews- he used what were wildy held ( yet incorrect) "Scientific facts" to lay the foundation for the holocoust. Many well respected people of the time accepted the scientific communites theories of racial superiority and eugnenics as fact and gospel. Theadore Rossevelt , Winston Churchhill, Alexander Graham Bell, Leland Stanford founder of Stanford Univ, the Carnegie and Rockefellar foundations, the american medical association, nat'l academy of sciences and the founder of Planned parenthood, many state legislatures stc all supported/passed legislation based on the scientific communites conclusion that a crisis in the gene pool was destroying the human race and that the ill bred masses of inferior people, immigrants and uncivilized, uneducatable people were going to dominate the world by their shear abilty to rpocreate faster thanteh civilized people of the world.
Of course WWII taught us many hard and horrible lessons including that though the scientific community of the time belived and postulated Eugineics as fact - that is was in truth just bad science coupled with hysteria and overstatment to both perpetuate research and push political agendas. More in fo ?? Check out Micheal Crichton's thoughts in his book State of Fear(.appendix I)

He postulates and I agree that the same type of thing is happening again with the psudo science being used to support the Global Warming agenda!

Answer 9

While your estimate is tremendously exagerrated and inflated, consider this, which applies to all those who abandoned or opposed the Catholic Church:

Outside the Catholic Church there is no salvation.

Answer 10

To me, the killing of people in the name of religion--ANY RELIGION--is about the most hypocritical thing I can think of. Yes, it happened. Just as it happened under Hitler's reign--in the name of white supremacy, with the Bible as backing. And just like it is happening now, only in the name of the Muslim religion.
A truly spiritual person, who truly believes in God, would not kill others to justify their cause.
