Subject: the catholic church was founded by Jesus


and since satan hates Jesus the catholic church is
satan's primary target. the messages repeat that the
leadership of the church is failing. however the
teaching of the church is valid and truthful. biden
should not be called a catholic since he doesn't
follow the teachings. i went away from the church for
about 10 years looking for truth and i finally found
truth in the catholic church. that is the primary
place where you can receive the body of Christ daily.
that is my food and sustenance. i know why the
christans died on the colosseum for the love of Jesus
and their fellow man. chas

Subject: That's such a bunch of crap. Why did Christians kill Christians?


Christianity was being practiced before Jesus was born
in the Essene sect.

Jesus brought those teachings into fruition. He showed
us what we can do when we become one with God. He tells
us this in John.

What you practice is Constantine's version codified to
achieve political ends.
That includes killing other Christians that would not
succumb the Constantine's version.

Your rendition of satan has also been used by the
Christian establishment to torture, terrorize, and kill
millions of other Christians.

The numbers do not come close to comparing to the numbr
of Christians killed in the Roman arenas.

Spanish Inquisition
Spanish history [1478–1834]

The Inquisition At Its Peak

"The grand inquisitor acted as the head of the Inquisition in Spain. The
ecclesiastical jurisdiction that he had received from the Vatican empowered
him to name deputies and hear appeals. In deciding appeals, the grand
inquisitor was assisted by a council of five members and by consultors. All
those offices were filled by agreement between the government and the
grand inquisitor. The council, especially after its reorganization during the
reign of Philip II (1556–98), put the effective control of the institution more
and more into the hands of the civil power. After the papacy of Clement VII
(1523–34), priests and bishops were at times judged by the Inquisition. In
procedure the Spanish Inquisition was much like the medieval inquisition.
The first grand inquisitor in Spain was the Dominican Tomás de
Torquemada; his name became synonymous with the brutality and
fanaticism associated with the Inquisition. Torquemada used torture and
confiscation to terrorize his victims, and his methods were the product of a
time when judicial procedure was cruel by design. The sentencing of the
accused took place at the auto-da-fé (Portuguese: “act of faith”), an
elaborate public expression of the Inquisition’s power. The condemned were
presented before a large crowd that often included royalty, and the
proceedings had a ritualized, almost festive, quality. The number of burnings
at the stake during Torquemada’s tenure was exaggerated by Protestant
critics of the Inquisition, but it is generally estimated to have been about
2,000.

At Torquemada’s urging, Ferdinand and Isabella issued an edict on March
31, 1492, giving Spanish Jews the choice of exile or baptism; as a result,
more than 160,000 Jews were expelled from Spain. Francisco, Cardinal
Jiménez de Cisneros, promoted the suppression of Muslims with the same
zeal that Torquemada had directed at Jews. In 1502 he ordered the
proscription of Islam in Granada, the last of the Muslim kingdoms in Spain to
fall to the Reconquista. The persecution of Muslims accelerated in 1507
when Jiménez was named grand inquisitor. Muslims in Valencia and Aragon
were subjected to forced conversion in 1526, and Islam was subsequently
banned in Spain. The Inquisition then devoted its attention to the Moriscos,
Spanish Muslims who had previously accepted baptism. Expressions of
Morisco culture were forbidden by Philip II in 1566, and within three years,
persecution by the Inquisition gave way to open warfare between the
Moriscos and the Spanish crown. The Moriscos were driven from Granada in
1571, and by 1614 some 300,000 had been expelled from Spain entirely.

When the Reformation began to penetrate into Spain, the relatively few
Spanish Protestants were eliminated by the Inquisition. Foreigners
suspected of promoting Protestant faiths within Spain met similarly violent
ends. Having largely purged the country of Jews and Muslims—as well as
many former members of those faiths who had converted to Christianity—
the Spanish Inquisition turned its attention to prominent Roman Catholics.
Saint Ignatius of Loyola was twice arrested on suspicion of heresy, and the
archbishop of Toledo, the Dominican Bartolomé de Carranza, was
imprisoned for almost 17 years. Nominally Christian groups that diverged
from the Inquisition’s orthodoxy, such as the followers of the mystical
Alumbrado movement and adherents of Erasmianism (a spiritualized
Christian belief system influenced by the teachings of humanist Desiderius
Erasmus), were subjected to intense persecution throughout the 16th and
into the 17th century.

Resistance And The Decline Of The Inquisition

Under the supreme council of the Spanish Inquisition were 14 local tribunals
in Spain and several in the colonies; the tribunals in Mexico and Peru were
particularly harsh. The Spanish Inquisition spread into Sicily in 1517, but
efforts to set it up in Naples and Milan failed. In 1522 Holy Roman Emperor
Charles V introduced it into the Low Countries, but its efforts to wipe out
Protestantism were unsuccessful. John III of Portugal, with the permission of
Pope Paul III, introduced a tribunal like the Spanish Inquisition against
Portuguese Jews in 1536. Though John III’s methods led the pope to revoke
the grant, the Inquisition was definitely established in Portugal in 1547, at
which time its scope was also widened.

The Inquisition remained a force in Spain and its colonies for hundreds of
years—indeed, autos-da-fé were a common occurrence into the mid-18th
century—but the excesses seen under Torquemada were checked to some
degree. Ironically, the well-established bureaucratic structure of the
Inquisition would help insulate Spain from the effects of ad hoc witchcraft
trials that swept Europe and claimed tens of thousands of lives in the late
16th and early 17th centuries. The Spanish Inquisition was suppressed by
Joseph Bonaparte in 1808, restored by Ferdinand VII in 1814, suppressed in
1820, restored in 1823, and finally suppressed permanently in 1834. The
Portuguese Inquisition was suppressed in 1821."
