wow! I mast say I am actually pleasantly surprised by Catholic Church for in Malta church ceiling collapsed and they reacted like sane adults admitting that only few years ago this would be blamed on gay marriages. Still it's probably largely because Malta's bishops broke away from Vatican and allowed gays to be married in churches.

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"
