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.

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.
