Some differences between Catholic doctrine and what the bible say.This straight from Rome,so i don't know what individual Catholic churches teach and, of course,i cannot know what individuals believe.I also know a number of former Catholics who have told me quite a bit about thier experience with Catholicism.,i do know that i have never heard the Gospel preached in a Catholic church and even though Catholicism was very Christianlike in the early days,it has become increasingly apostate over the years.

Many people hold Christian beliefs,only to abandon them later,which means they truly did not believe/understand them to begin with.Most mass murderers have been influenced by atheistic beliefs at the time they commited thier atrocities,such as Hitlers attempts to expedite the evolutionary process by eliminating those he saw as unfit,which included Jews,Gypsies,Blacks or anyone else who was not of the Aryan race.
Most scripture that is quoted as promoting cruelty or slavery is either taken out of context or twisted to mean what it does'nt.It is mainly Christians who work towards eliminating these things.
As for justifying the inquisition,i did no such thing,i merely indicated that it was misguided and resulted in fewer deaths,still deplorable,than most.
Catholicism is not an example of true Christianity as much of its doctrine is totally unbiblical unbiblical.

Most historians consider the crusades to be a long overdue and appropriate response to centuries of muslim oppression,and although the inquisision was a misguided attempt to locate and kill heretics it only resulted in about 3 deaths a year.In actual fact,most atrocities have been committed by atheists/evolutionist (Hitler,Stalin,Pol Pot,Jeffrey Dahmer,etc.)then have ever been done by true born again Christians.
Although most muslims seem to be peaceful people they are this way because they choose to do what is right even though it is inconsistent with what the Koran says.But ..even if 99% of the 1.5 billion Muslims are peaceful,that still leaves 1.5 million who are not.
