The CC banned the bible and banned the translation of it from Latin to English (only educated/rich people could understand Latin) so the poor were SOL. Where does it tell us to burn people to instill fear? Where does it tell us to love power and favor in the world above loving our neighbors? Where does it tell us to suppress the truth? Where does it tell us to oppress the poor? I could go on...
Pointlessly at that. Those are not the crimes being addressed here.

Not every bad deed - but a lot of them. You can end it if you want, since there is no intellect nor honesty coming from you.
