Why don't you tell me where Jesus advocated the persecution and slaughter of a Christian's opponents, Midge??

The catholic church has been the ARCH PERSECUTOR AND MURDERER of opponents. NO other group even begins to hold a candle to it. NONE.

I don't condone that by ANY group. My ancestors were regular average people who were mercilessly persecuted by the CATHOLIC church and had to flee to this country for protection from it.  There were many of them.

Again you don't want to face facts about your church - including its  CENTURIES-LONG persecution and slaughter of those who would not COW  to it. Disgusting.
