Historical fact is not nonsense.Universally recognised in western Christendom? Nonsense.
Because it takes a lot of study and reading to understand the crusades and inquisition, and several pages to explain it, and an open mind to search for the truth. You have your own private definition of heresy. Briefly, the crusades were defensive wars, and all the documents of the inquisition have been preserved. Probably millions of them. Scholars have poured over them and have not found your ridiculous exaggerations. The Black Legend is a bunch of fiction, no different from your regurgitation of 16th century propaganda. It's the same garbage.If that were true, why did the church find it so essential, before the resignation, to instigate crusades and inquisitions to root out heretics to the Catholic faith?
Celtic Christianity is another topic. You always exclude St. Patrick.Why was Rome so opposed to Celtic Christianity and the Waldenses if they were in agreement with papal authority?
Waldo went to the Pope to sanction is strange practices, but was rejected for being too strictly Catholic. (excessive fasting, forced celibacy for the clergy, extreme poverty etc.) Pope Francis went to the Waldensian church and apologized to them over the bad behavior that some Catholics imposed on them.
For once I would like to see scholarly, objective unbiased fact based sources supporting your revisionism, but you never do that. Instead, you yap off about sad historical events with bumper sticker theology with no context, centuries old dirt that has absolutely no bearing on today's world.

Pope meets Waldensian leader.
The SDA needs to apologize to the Catholic Church for its excessive persecution of Catholicism with its truckloads of sick videos and anti-Catholic propaganda, but that will never happen because they interpret all history and every irrelevant line written by a Catholic to force it to fulfill false prophesies. It's unbiblical nonsense of pope(s)=anti-Christ is an example of absurd polemics.
