2 They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service.
3 And these things will they do unto you, because they have not known the Father, nor me.
4 But these things have I told you, that when the time shall come, ye may remember that I told you of them. And these things I said not unto you at the beginning, because I was with you.
-John 16:2-4 King James Version (KJV)
“From the birth of Popery [Roman Catholic Church] in 606 to the present time, it is estimated by careful and credible historians, that more than fifty millions of the human family, have been slaughtered for the crime of heresy by popish persecutors, an average of more than forty thousand religious murders for every year of the existence of popery.” (“History of Romanism,” by John Dowling pp. 541, 542. New York: 1871.
“That the Church of Rome has shed more innocent blood than any other institution that has ever existed among mankind, will be questioned by no Protestant who has a competent knowledge of history. (“History of the Rise and Influence of the Spirit of Rationalism in Europe,” by W. E. H. Lecky Vol. II, p. 32. London: Longmans, Green, and Co., 1910.)
