Come on, you have stretched this thing enough. The Inquisition was quite unlike Auschwitz, and Hitler's regime was far more monstrous than Savonarola's. It's not even close.

what the nazis did was humane compared to what people in the inquisition did. nazis gassed the jews. non catholics were tortured and than killed in public.

Right, the nazis never tortured or killed anyone in public...

I hate this forum, the reason of why catholics arent at the same level as Hitler its obvisouly because catholics have also done good stuff, and somehow someway we have a debate about who was worse hitler or the church during the inquisition.

Ok I grant you the catholic church has done both good things and bad things.

Now what exactly was the catholic church's excuse for all the bad things?

P.S. Hitler was a catholic his whole life and his anti-semitism came from the church.

You seem to imply Hitler didn't do good things. This is an interesting point when people call him "pure evil". He was not that by any means. That's part of why he was so dangerous.

Pure evil is quite simple to deal with (not always easy, but simple.) It's part-evil that's so nasty. Hitler did lots of nice things for lots of people. (Kind of like the Catholic Church). He improved the lives of many Germans during some bad times. He also did plenty of bad things, but if you ignore all the good things he did, you won't be able to recognize the next Hitler.

As for the Catholic Church being "highly regarded" - that's pretty debatable. It's powerful, and rich, certainly. (Very "christian" attributes, eh?) But it's only high regarded by a relative minority of dogmatic hypocrites in the world.

By numbers? Otherwise, I don't see how you can say this.
