Why does Roman Catholicism want to exterminate Protestants?

Question

The following is an exact translation of the doctrine of the Church of Rome as taught today in all Roman Catholic seminaries, colleges and universities, through the Summa Theologica of Thomas Aquinas, vol. iv., p. 90:

"Though heretics (Protestants) must not be tolerated because they deserve it, we must bear with them till, by the second admonition, they may be brought back to the faith of the church. But those who, after a second admonition, remain obstinate to their errors, must not only be excommunicated, but they must be delivered to the secular power to be EXTERMINATED."
Organized religion is the scum of the earth. They make people of genuine faith look bad. When did Jesus speak of delivering ANYBODY to be exterminiated? These individuals are no different than Hitler or Stalin. They are genocidal maniacs. Basically, their philosophy above states, 'Either agree with us, or we will throw you to the wolves to be eaten alive'. Jesus came to give LIFE (John 10:10). Why is this so?

Answer 1

You raise a valid point.

To the Italian Man Man Man.

Please stop lying. Your lies are outragious.

I don't know of any Bible believing Christians who believe as you claim that sex before marriage is ok.

Answer 2

First of all the Summa Theoligica of Thomas Aquinas has nothing to do with Protestantism. Aquinas lived far before Martin Luther. Therefore the reference could be mere assumption.

Answer 3

"Through the two great errors, the immortality of the soul and Sunday sacredness, Satan will bring the people under his deceptions. While the former lays the foundation of spiritualism, the latter creates a bond of sympathy with Rome. The Protestants of the United States will be foremost in stretching their hands across the gulf to grasp the hand of spiritualism; they will reach over the abyss to clasp hands with the Roman power; and under the influence of this threefold union, this country will follow in the steps of Rome in trampling on the rights of conscience."(GC11, 588)

""The pacific tone of Rome in the United States does not imply a change of heart. She is tolerant where she is helpless. Says Bishop O'Connor: 'Religious liberty is merely endured until the opposite can be carried into effect without peril to the Catholic world.'. . . The archbishop of St. Louis once said: 'Heresy and unbelief are crimes; and in Christian countries, as in Italy and Spain, for instance, where all the people are Catholics, and where the Catholic religion is an essential part of the law of the land, they are punished as other crimes.'. . .
"Every cardinal, archbishop, and bishop in the Catholic Church takes an oath of allegiance to the pope, in which occur the following words: 'Heretics, schismatics, and rebels to our said lord (the pope), or his aforesaid successors, I will to my utmost persecute and oppose.'"–Josiah Strong, Our Country, ch. 5, pars. 2-4.
It is true that there are real Christians in the Roman Catholic communion. Thousands in that church are serving God according to the best light they have. They are not allowed access to His word, and therefore they do not discern the truth.* They have never seen the contrast between a living heart service and a round of mere forms and ceremonies. God looks with pitying tenderness upon these souls, educated as they are in a faith that is delusive and unsatisfying. He will cause rays of light to penetrate the dense darkness that surrounds them. He will reveal to them the truth as it is in Jesus, and many will yet take their position with His people."(GC11, 565)

Answer 4

So you honestly believe that semenaries are teaching young priests to exterminate Protestants? Now, you know that isn't true, so why are you repeating it? You saw a controversial passage in a book, and now you are trying to find a way to attribute it to every Roman Catholic on earth. Do you really think that's rational?

Answer 5

Because Protestants wants to have sex before marriage which is wrong. It is wrong for number of reasons.

1) Pregnant teenagers
2) When you have sex before marriage, your soul becomes unpure
3)You might become a parent too soon and you would have to give up your teenage hood or childhood to become a parent.
4) diseases
5) It is God's word, we should not betray it.

Answer 6

Where do you get "heretics" as being protestants. If anything, read up on the split that made the Catholics and Orthodoxy into two seperate groups. All because of one bishop....sad.....

Answer 7

Sounds anti-Christian to me.

Revelation 13:15  And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.

Who do you think is spoken of here in context to the question?

GOD bless

Answer 8
