the roman empire literally persecuted christianity for decades but ok
correct, and then they became it
survived roman persecution to become the thing that burned ‘heretics’ for opposing the king of rome
i wouldn’t even call it the same religion either, more like an inversion of it
BINGO
Psssh here’s a fun read or two:

Ok I tried to read some of those but have a hard time finding anything of substance tbh
you will never find what you do not want to find
yes, the ‘church’ that was burning heretics opposed to fealty to the king of rome then produced a schism that also burned heretics
proof
plenty of christians did not have interest in swearing fealty to the king of rome, and were killed for it, long before there was the protestant schism. you ask for proof, i point to your own ‘church’'s history
articles, links, etc
this is your religions history, you really need links??
pre-schism imperial church violence:
donatists: north african christians who refused communion with bishops who had collaborated with roman persecution. augustine developed the theological justification for using imperial force against them. precursor to the inquisition
arians: christians who held that christ was subordinate to the father. it was a position enforced by some emperors and violently suppressed by others depending on who was in power. the nicene settlement was imposed by imperial authority, not theological consensus
paul of constantinople: patriarch of constantinople, exiled multiple times for refusing to accept the arian settlement imposed by emperor constantius. eventually strangled on imperial orders
eusebius of samosata: bishop who refused the imperial arian settlement, stoned to death by an arian woman while in exile
martin of tours: refused communion with bishops who supported the imperial execution of priscillian, arguing the state had no business executing heretics
bogomils: balkan christian movement rejecting church hierarchy, sacraments and material wealth. persecuted by both byzantine and later catholic authorities, their suppression in bosnia was a direct precursor to the albigensian crusade
violence against christian heretics and orthodox:
waldensians
albigensian crusade/cathars
sack of constantinople
the inquisition
spiritual franciscans
jan hus/hussites
violence against muslims and jews:
the crusades
rhineland massacres
spanish inquisition
reconquista
colonial and indigenous violence:
inter caetera/colonial americas
california missions
residential schools
violence against women and the poor:
witch trials
magdalene laundries
nazi collaboration:
ustaše
reichskonkordat
ratlines
pius xii and the holocaust
Andmost of these are misguided priests or single Individuals perpetuating Violence.
However, some of the actions in these documents are extremely disturbing, but this is why the Catholic Church is constantly improving and learning from its past
Do not let Judas guide you away from Jesus.
most of the Arian Controversy deaths were because of Arianists, who are not Catholics
Arianism is not a belief of the church, what re you trying to convey?
Bruh it’s the catholics who raped the kids, and you really think catholics didn’t burn protestants? They were a lot more keen on it so just stfu already.
Generalization fallacy here and an Ad Hominem there.
and PROOF for your statements please.
and Catholicism advocates the love of ALL humans, bbqing them is not love.
honestly I’m not even sure what you’re trying to say here because who did you think killed those protestant martyrs of the church of england?
Henry VIII (1509–1547) and Mary I (1553–1558)
Yeah the protestant and the catholic.
all the monarchs are apart of the Church of England which is not catholic
