NUKE THE FILIBUSTER. Pass the SAVE America Act.
English
Dark Chapters in the Catholic Church’s History.
1. The Spanish Inquisition.
The Church created a system that used torture, drawn straight from official manuals, to force confessions from people accused of heresy. Many accusations were false or politically motivated. The accused often had no real defense, could not face their accusers, and had no lawyer. Over the centuries, this led to thousands of executions, many by burning at the stake.
2. Targeting Jewish converts.
The Inquisition aggressively targeted conversos, Jews who had converted to Christianity, suspecting many of secretly holding to their former faith. Under threat of torture and death, many were pressured into confessions. Hundreds were burned in public spectacles called autos-da-fe, while many others were expelled, imprisoned, or forced into segregated communities.
3. The Magdalene Laundries in Ireland.
For decades, Catholic nuns ran institutions that locked up around 30,000 women and girls, including unmarried mothers, abuse survivors, and even children, branding them as “fallen women.” Many were forced into unpaid labor and lived under harsh, humiliating conditions. The last Magdalene Laundry did not close until 1996.
4. Covering up child sexual abuse by priests.
Across multiple countries and over many decades, Church leaders repeatedly hid sexual abuse scandals. Instead of reporting abusive priests to the police or permanently removing them, many were simply moved to new parishes. Grand jury reports and independent investigations have documented thousands of victims and exposed a disturbing pattern of protecting the institution over children.
5. Helping Nazis escape after World War II, the “ratlines.”
Certain Catholic clergy, including Bishop Alois Hudal, helped create escape routes for Nazi war criminals after the war. These networks used safe houses, false papers, and travel assistance, helping many flee to South America and avoid justice, including some tied to Holocaust crimes.
6. Owning and selling enslaved people.
The Jesuit order in colonial America owned hundreds of enslaved Black people. In 1838, they sold about 272 of them, including families with children, to Louisiana planters. The money helped pay debts and support Catholic institutions, including Georgetown.
7. The trial of Galileo.
In 1633, the Church condemned Galileo for teaching that the earth moves around the sun. Church authorities declared the view false and contrary to Scripture, then sentenced him to house arrest for the rest of his life. It remains one of history’s clearest examples of religious authority resisting truth.
8. Selling indulgences.
The Church allowed people to give money in exchange for supposed reductions in time in purgatory. Popes like Leo X promoted this heavily to fund major church projects and ease financial strain. This abuse became one of the biggest sparks of the Protestant Reformation.
9. Vatican Bank scandals.
The Vatican Bank has been linked to repeated accusations of financial corruption, money laundering, shady deals, and weak oversight. Critics have long argued that it operated with unusual secrecy and poor accountability, especially for an institution that claims moral authority.
10. Corrupt popes like Alexander VI.
Rodrigo Borgia, who became Pope Alexander VI, is one of the most infamous examples of corruption in the papacy. He is widely accused of bribing his way into office, promoting family members, enriching himself, and living openly immoral lives while claiming spiritual authority over Christendom.
11. The Cadaver Synod.
In one of the most grotesque moments in papal history, Pope Stephen VI had the corpse of his predecessor dug up, dressed in papal robes, and put on trial. The dead pope was declared guilty, mutilated, dragged through the streets, and thrown into the Tiber River. This shows how far the papacy had sunk into madness, revenge, and political theater.
12. Debauchery at the top.
Some popes lived in shocking immorality. Pope John XII, for example, was accused of turning the papal palace into a place of corruption and scandal. Even Catholic historians admit that some men who sat on the papal throne lived lives completely out of harmony with the faith they claimed to lead.
13. Witch hunts.
From the 15th to the 18th centuries, church authorities helped legitimize persecution in parts of Europe, even though Rome was not the only force involved. Thousands of people, most of them women, were accused of witchcraft, tortured, and executed, often by burning. The Church helped create the climate that made such horrors possible.
14. Persecutions during the Inquisition era.
This includes the mass arrest and torture of the Knights Templar in 1307, many of whom were later executed, and the burning of Joan of Arc. Joan was condemned in a church court heavily influenced by political forces, then later cleared, showing how corruption and religion could be mixed for deadly ends.
15. Protecting the institution over people.
In abuse cases and many other scandals, church leadership repeatedly chose secrecy, damage control, and protection of assets over truth, justice, and care for victims. Inquiry after inquiry has shown a pattern of putting the Church’s image, power, and money ahead of wounded people.
16. Persecution of the Waldensians.
For centuries, the Waldensians were hunted because they rejected papal authority and wanted the Bible in the language of ordinary people. Church backed campaigns treated them as dangerous heretics. Many were massacred, tortured, exiled, and stripped of their homes and property. One of the worst episodes was the 1655 massacre in Piedmont, where entire Waldensian communities were attacked with shocking cruelty.
17. The Albigensian Crusade.
The papacy launched a crusade against the Cathars in southern France in the 13th century. Entire communities were devastated, and in some cases wiped out, in the name of crushing heresy. It stands as one of the clearest examples of mass violence carried out under church authority.
18. Forced conversions and suppression of conscience.
In different periods of history, Rome backed systems that pressured, punished, or even killed people for refusing Catholic control. This included forced baptisms, punishment of dissenters, and penalties against those who wanted to read, preach, or follow Scripture apart from church approval.
19. Suppression of the Bible.
For long stretches of history, Church authorities restricted access to Scripture in the language of ordinary people and condemned unauthorized translation or circulation. This kept people dependent on clergy instead of allowing them to test doctrine directly by the Word of God.
20. Massacre of the Huguenots and broader anti Protestant violence.
Political powers were involved too, but Catholic hostility toward dissent helped fuel mass killings of Protestants, especially in France. The St. Bartholomew’s Day massacre remains one of the most horrifying examples of anti Protestant bloodshed.
21. Crusades against fellow professing Christians. Church sanctioned violence was also turned against groups labeled heretical, including people who still claimed to follow Christ but would not submit to Rome.
22. Torture as an approved religious tool.
One of the darkest truths is that torture was not always rogue behavior by isolated bad men. In inquisitorial systems, it was formalized, regulated, and justified as a tool to extract confessions and force conformity. That alone tells you how far the system had drifted from the spirit of Christ.
23. The Donation of Constantine.
One of the most embarrassing chapters in papal history is the use of the Donation of Constantine, a forged document that claimed Constantine gave special authority and privileges to the pope. It was later proven false, yet for generations it helped support papal power and prestige. Fraud was used to strengthen the system.
These events span centuries, and the Catholic Church has admitted fault or apologized for some of them in modern times, such as the abuse crisis and the treatment of Galileo. Even so, these are still dark, painful and diabolical events. They show a long pattern of power being used to control, punish, silence, and protect the institution at the expense of truth and human lives.

@TheDemSlayer I was raised catholic, attended catholic schools. I can attest to the fact that the bible is not read by Catholics, it is not taught in schools, is not emphasized at all by catholic clergy.
English
Exactly WHERE did Jesus say this, Bob? I’d really love to know.
Oh, that’s right. Jesus didn’t!
THIS is what’s called BLASPHEMY!
You want to know HOW the Catholic Pope can put these disgusting, lying words of leftist ideology directly into the mouth of the Messiah and get away with it?
Because the audience he’s speaking to never reads the Holy Bible. They are clueless about what Jesus did and didn’t say.
English
Please stop forming your opinions of Pope Leo as if he needs to be on a red team or a blue team.
He’s on team Jesus!
The Pope is the Bishop of Rome, not a political figure. He shepherds Christians globally with the message of the gospel; peace, love and charity.

They installed a polish pope when the globalists needed to support Solidarity and oppose the USSR. And it worked. Resulted in the end of the Cold War. They have now installed an American pope because they need all the help they can muster to oppose American nationalism, sovereignty and liberty. It’s no coincidence that David Axelrod, Obama’s wing man, met with the pope just a few days before the pope criticized the Iran war. This pope is a demoncrat puppet pope. Silent on Nigerian Christian persecution and Islamic abuse of women, but quick to criticize Trump. Hypocrite.

A mother loves all her children in the same way and with her whole heart. Standing before the Mother of our hearts, we want to promise to do the same, striving to ensure that no one lacks love, and what is necessary to live with dignity and to be happy. May those who are hungry have food, may all the sick receive the care they need, may children access proper education, and may the elderly live their later years in serenity. #ApostolicJourney #Angola vatican.va/content/leo-xi…

Being called ‘arrogant’ for repeating what the Catholic Church actually teaches is telling.
Catholicism isn’t something we reinvent.
It’s something we receive.
We don’t get to pick and choose doctrine and still call it Catholic.
That’s not humility.
That’s self-authority.

I would like to know as well.
Why is Pope Leo silent about Christian slaughter and loud about Trump? 🤔

Today we need to look to the future with hope and to build the hope of the future. Let us not be afraid to do so! The Risen Jesus, who walks the road with us and breaks Himself as bread, encourages us to be witnesses of His resurrection and protagonists of a new humanity and a new society. #ApostolicJourney #Angola

Make no mistake, Obama's wingman David Axelrod met with Pope Leo XIV to devise a plan to pull Catholics in America away from President Trump before the midterms.
It failed miserably, so now he's trying to walk back his comments!
English
“Please be careful not to use political categories to speak about faith, to speak about the Church. The Church doesn’t belong to any political party; rather, she helps form your conscience.”
Based Pope Leo! 😎

"If our Christianity causes us to defend the president rather than the poor, the powerless, the sick, the hungry, the homeless, and the immigrant, that's when we know we are following someone other than Jesus."

Picking on the Pope is incredibly lame and unnecessary. Why insult millions of Catholics for no reason other than ego and narcissism. You’re not Jesus and you’re not a doctor either.

Oh, look at this walking, talking betrayal in a white cassock: Pope Leo XIV, a.k.a. Robert Francis Prevost — the globalist’s hand-picked Midwest accountant cosplaying as the Vicar of Christ.
Congrats, Bobby. You crawled out of Chicago, spent your life as an Augustinian missionary in Peru pretending to care about the poor, and somehow landed the big chair by promising the Davos crowd you’d keep the rainbow-flag interfaith grift alive. First American pope? More like the first pope who treats the Vatican like a UN diversity seminar with better real estate. You didn’t get elected by the Holy Spirit; you got installed by the same people who think “tolerance” means letting everyone pray except the people who built the damn place.
And then you actually did it. You carved out a Muslim prayer room inside the Vatican Apostolic Library. A carpet, some qibla stickers, and boom — the home of every single manuscript that preserved Western civilization now has a designated corner for the ummah to bow toward Mecca. On papal turf. While Christians are getting slaughtered in half the countries these scholars come from. That’s not “dialogue,” you spineless wonder. That’s surrender with extra incense.
That’s turning the throne of St. Peter into a participation trophy for every ideology that wants Christianity dead.
Your church spent half a million on a solid-gold Fisherman’s Ring so people can kiss your glorified class ring, but you’re perfectly fine letting strangers roll out prayer rugs five feet from the archives that survived Attila the Hun. Priceless, indeed. The Church spent centuries fighting off Islamic conquest at Lepanto and Vienna, and you just handed them a quiet room and a polite “no shoes, please.” Bold move for a guy whose entire brand is “humble servant.” Humble enough to let Islam set up shop, apparently. Not humble enough to ditch the $3,000 silk stole and the red mozzetta cape, though — gotta look fabulous while you sell out.
You’re not a pope. You’re a corporate consultant in religious drag. A globalist hall monitor who thinks the greatest threat to humanity isn’t the erosion of the faith that built the West — it’s mean tweets and Latin Mass attendees. Keep clutching your pearls and your interfaith talking points while the actual faithful watch their ancestral Church get turned into a theme park for every religion except the one that actually owns it.
Robert Prevost, you didn’t just fail upward.
You turned the Chair of Peter into a participation award for the people who want it empty.
And history’s going to remember you exactly as you are: the fake pope who gave Islam a prayer rug and Christianity the middle finger. 🖕
