You can't be serious right now. Catholics are evil, and Protestants are good?
You miss the point. Protestants do not like the Catholic church, and would be inclined to side with you in matters related to the Catholics committing atrocities.
So to generalize is pretty foolish.

Actually, the Reformation kicked off not because people felt the Church was 'evil' per se, but that it was corrupt.
From wikipedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vicarius_Filii_Dei
Quote:Some individual protestants of varying denominations view the Pope as the Antichrist, or like one. Once a common belief among Protestants and is still part of the confession of faith of some Protestant churches, such as those within Confessional Lutheranism.[8] Some groups like seventh-day Adventists controversially identify the Roman Papacy with the "number of the beast" (666) from the book of Revelation, and believe that the phrase Vicarius Filii Dei, reduced to its Roman numerals, sums up to 666, though alternate sums produce 664, depending on whether the IV in Vicarius is taken as a single number or two separate numbers. It must be said that Romans did not write vertically but horizontally. To produce 664, the sum works as follows: VICARIVS FILII DEI = 5+1+100+4+1+50+1+1+500+1 = 664, where 'U' is taken as 'V' (two forms of 'v' developed in Latin, which were both used for its ancestor 'u' and modern 'v'). To produce 666, the sum works as follows: VICARIVS FILII DEI = 5+1+100+1+5+1+50+1+1+500+1 = 666.
