So the question remains,
why the hyper focus on myths, exagerations and lies about the Catholic Church by anti-Catholics while ignoring the much greater problem of the same issues in the collective backyard of protestantism?
Where is the outcry about the barbaric deeds of the reformers and the reformation?
Why the hypocrisy?
The use of such accusations to somehow invalidate the Catholic church is simply false argumentation.
To illustrate the false nature of such argumentation:If such things are somehow proof that the Catholic Church is invalid, then they are even more so - doubly so, triply so, even 100 times so - proof that the Protestant Reformation, and thus protestantism and its offshoots today, is even more so invalidated.
That is simply the logical conclusion of the argument using the inquisitons, etc to attack the Catholic Church to somehow invalidate the Catholic Church.
The fact is, these attacks on the Catholic Church are really nothing more than smoke and mirrors.
