Catholicism is probably the worse religion ever if we consider how much damage it has caused through all the wars it organized, genocides, persecution of science, slavery, bigotry, hysteria, grabbing money, etc.
No wonder there were religions created just to protest Catholicism and give people some other alternatives.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
