Scarlet Threads, 21

The Golden Age of the Papacy, from the Roman view. My view: the age of decadence. We speak of one "Innocent" (can't make this stuff up) who was guilty of murder thousands of times over. That is, he persecuted the true church and anyone else opposed to his rule. And enter the "Crusades", the slaughter of Jews so that the Jewish homeland (home of Jesus and the apostles!) can be brought under Rome.
