Nuggets from "Judgment Day: Islam, Israel, and the Nations" by Dave Hunt

It is important especially for Jews to realize that the popes and the Roman Catholic Church slaughtered far more evangelicals than they did Jews. The “Edict of the Emperors Gratian, Valentinian II, and Theodosius I” of February 27, 380, established Roman Catholicism as the state religion and set the distinction between those who accepted Rome’s false gospel and biblical Christians….In fact, what the Roman Catholic Church did to true Christians is far worse than what they did to Jews. Those who followed Christ and His Word were persecuted and killed by the millions for more than a thousand years before the Reformation. Martin Luther said, “We are not the first to declare the papacy to be the kingdom of Antichrist since for many years before us so many…have undertaken to express the same thing so clearly….” The true Christians were known under many names (Albigenses, Waldenses, Cathari, Bogomils, Huguenots, Hussites, etc.), were called heretics, and were tortured, drowned, burned at the stake, and otherwise martyred for their faith. These people were marked by Rome for extermination just as surely as Muslims and Jews.
