When someone commits a horrific act in the name of religion, then the members of that religion should condemn these acts and say that these acts were unjust and contrary to their religion. Sometimes history gets complicated, when you've got two or three religions all fighting at once, all claiming that God is on their side. As a Christian, and a Catholic, if you want to talk about inquisitions, and crusades, and persecution of so-called heretics, and so forth, I'm going to be as honest and forthright as I can be. As for "outrage" that others despise Catholics, that's simply not so. I'm too old and seen too much to be surprised by anti-Catholic prejudice. It's endemic to rural America. Little known fact: one of the major tipping points for the American Revolution was an act by the British Parliament authorizing tolerance of Catholics in Canada. Our forefathers feared that the British would do the same thing in America, and they did not want this.
