Anyone very educated in the catholic churches history?

[Fidel_Castronaut]

I have a catholic friend who insists that the catholic curch has done nothing wrong throughout history. He denies that priests ever rape children the majority of the time, and occasionally says that it was a bad priest, but that does not reflect on the catholic faith. It would be cool if someone could help me out, and give me some good information about the catholic churches fucked up history. I told him some stories, but guess it was not good enough. Please help me! He is driving me crazy with his ignorance

Here's one. Implicit acceptance and support of one of the worst regimes in WWII:

Indeed, The papacy at the time saw the Croatians as a good way of spreading Catholicism to the rest of the Serbian, Slavic and Muslim Balkans. Didn't seem to care that the Ustaše were so violent that even the Nazis gave them a wide berth.
