The Papacy is Unbiblical

“Heretics (those who felt bound by
conscience to follow God’s Word) were
committed to the flames because the popes
believed that the Bible forbade Christians
to shed blood. Victims of the Inquisition
exceeded by hundreds of thousands the
number of Christians (and Jews) who had
been martyred under pagan Roman
emperors. Catholic apologists try in vain
to absolve their Church of responsibility,
arguing that the sentence of death was
carried out by civil authorities. Yet this
transference to the “secular arm” was
required by the Church’s canon law, and at
the tribunal where heretics were
condemned the Inquisitor’s throne was
higher than that of the magistrate. The
prisoner was allowed to know neither the
charge against him nor the identity of his
accusers. No one was ever acquitted.
Torture often made the pitiful victims
willing to confess to anything.” (Dave Hunt)
