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.
Uh... The crusades aren't enough? They're not going on today, but you are talking about the most evil organizations in all of history, so we can't just look at the Catholic church of today
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
