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.
How many realize that the church has been battling satan from all sides including infiltration since day 1? Anti-popes have happened before...
There are not one hundred people in the United States who hate The Catholic Church, but there are millions who hate what they wrongly perceive the Catholic Church to be.
