I read a list of the top 10 most Evil Organizations in History.
It was surprising that the Catholic Church came in #5. They were behind the Chinese Communist Party, the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (under Stalin), the Kmer Rouge and the Nazi Regime obviously, but I wouldn't have ranked the Catholic Church in the top 10 for most evil.
I guess the reason for inclusion of the Catholic Church in that ranking is Deception.
The others made no pretenses and didn't hide what they were. The Church, however, claims to help people and gains their trust, which in a way is far more devious and destructive.
The catholic church is one of the worse kind of deceptions. I was born and raised Catholic. I was "proud" to be amd thought Bible based churches were clueless. It was Iike the scales fell off. Scripture was no longer riddles and made sense.
God wants a relationship not religion and it was finished on the cross. When I finally dug into what the crusades really were and how the Vatican was behind every war. I was more than sick to my stomach. All the truths I refused to see because that's not what the church taught and they had my best interest roll eyes Meanwhile they were the murderers of the real Christians.
I could go on and on. Suffice to say yes, it is evil.
This PBS show is an eye-opener:

I'm not sure I trust PBS. I don't trust much except the Bible these days lol.
Seriously if you would have told me at any point including the morning in June 2019 that I would leave behind Catholicism, I would have said that's nuts.
Even in 2017 when God tried to wake me up with a conversation with a dying deacon (I was a hospice nurse) when he said the keys to st Peter are a lie and I thought it was weird and random. It took another almost 2 years and a rocking to my core....but I'm free. We're free.
I used to beleive in the goodness of JPII now.....I see a NWO agenda in the planning. Simply looking at the hall and the apocalyptic Christ should have shown all. I was blind. Took my son praying us out of the catholic church for 4 long years while we tried to pray him back in. He won, God won, God always wins. The truth will indeed set you free.
I'm not sure I do, either, but the video is compelling -- and eye-opening. Watch a bit and judge for yourself.
Okay thanks! Maybe I misunderstood the summary it sounded like it was trying to defend.
It's like anything about "unlocking the secrets of the Bible " on something like the history Channel. I'm a natural skeptic now which is good but I need to remember to test things and not throw out "because " as that's what had me believing the lies for so long in the 1st place, so thank you for that.
