“The Church” doesn’t mean Catholics for the vast majority of people. It means “Christian” to them. So whether it was Catholics, Protestants, Baptists, et al is irrelevant for most people, as all of the aforementioned are guilty of crimes against humanity (some worse than others, I don’t care to count the corpses).
Uh… That’s absolutely not how most people use “the Church,” and it would be very poor terminology if it was. A church is by definition an organization (or a building), for one. Also even in that case the meme would be wrong, because witch hunts never caught up among Orthodox Christians.
