Catholics vs. Hitler

The catoholic church would not exist today if it werent for its violent past. The crusades and witch hunts. In medival times the catholic church basically killed everyone who would not convert. So why is the catholic church so highly regarded now. why dont they have the same evil reputation that hitler does. basically hitler was trying to do the same thing. if he was sucessful maybe he would have created a religon that is as highly regarded as the catholic church. I do not condone in any way what hitler did.

Conversion was not an option in Auschwitz.

Maybe its because catholics have also done good things.

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.

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

Is the catholic church highly regarded? I always thought the general consesus was that the catholic church is kind of scary.

Indulgences, child molestating clergy, etc.

Im sure if hitler succeeded in his plan the text books of today would paint a different picture of him. he would be the hero of the arian race and all the killings he did would be for the greater good.
