    If we were to play it your way, the Crusaders weren’t Christians, the Spanish Inquisition weren’t Christians, the Conquistadors weren’t Christians, etc

    All of the above are Catholic, and the vast majority of Christians I know would agree that they aren’t Christian.

      Catholics are the OG Christians, despite what all the seething Protestants might tell you.

      • Nope. That would be the orthodox christians you still find sprinkled around Palestine and Syria. The catholics are already roman “lets stabilize our empire with mixing religion and poltiics” brand of christians.

      That is not only another No True Scotsman fallacy, it’s also anecdotal.

      Catholics are undeniably Christians no matter what other Christians may think. Catholicism likely came before their sect anyway.
