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.
Uhm "crushades bad"... maybe read: https://www.amazon.com/Politically-Incorrect-Guide-Islam-Crusades/dp/0895260131
And if you can't afford or can't pirate it read this:

So shut the fuck up about crushades. Of course many of them were fucked up, especially Children's crushade being result of stupidity of dark ages society,but crushades were self defence against violence of Islam !
u/Retaining_H2O - and where is islam in those rank ? By the way - nazi regime first before communism ?
Then you have the answer who made that...

And yes - catholic church leaders are corrupted by evil ones and I say it as person being formally still Roman Catholic. And antipope Bergolio called "Francis" is leftist and heretic and some bishops (maybe even including him) are in fact pedophiles and satanists.
They were also rough on the Orthodox Christians
GTFO with your Muslim apologist bullshit. The Crusades were a defensive war. one exception, when the asshole royals sacked Constantinople. THAT was seriously messed up.
You think muslims were sparing really more people ? Bullshit.
Moreover the thing with crushaders being violent is: dark ages, western europe being then quite shitty. You think those talking about "fall of civilization" after fall of Rome and calling it "dark ages" was rhetoric only ?
Primitive tribes robbing and destroying what they can only touch. Imbeciles in comparison to ancient Romans,but many imbeciles and because of moral crisis of roman society, lead pollution and overtaxation of average roman citizen they won.
You know what's the source of word "vandal" ?

And other tribes were not better.Civilization was only rebuilding in west 4 ages of primitive version of "Mad max" being reality. You think they were doing better things in europe ? Forget it, slavery, robbing ancient graves as profesion, killing and burning whole cities even if religion was the same.
Ragnar Lothbrok was captured by the Anglo-Saxon king Aella of Northumbria and thrown into a snake pit to die in 9-th century is something unusual ? There were cases when some kings were keeping their family members being competitors to crown in small cages - really. For example example from my country history:
and he never returned to health after that. Both those men - torturer and tortured were from one Piast dynastic family. They had the same grandfather,so they were just cousins. And that happened in 1293 ! And that wasn't particularly cruel royal family...
People were spilling pisses and shit on the streets because they don't knew old roman idea of severage, rats and fleas were common even in Mozart times being in fucking 18 century ! Have I mentioned that those people not liked washing themselves too ? (what Romans were doing regularly). People from those times were not at half such nice like those from French comedy "Just Visiting". Not even a bit.
The catholic church created islam. Look it up.
evidence for this is minimal. i've tried many times to find good historical sources.
