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.
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.
It's definitely NOT trying to defend the Catholic church.
