Some questions about Catholic? -
April 29th, 2012, 09:15 AM
We have read history. We know church was killed many people by hanging by fire by ....
We know they are innocent (whom was killed by church).
I watched a movie about Giordano Bruno and film showed me how church killed him in savagery manner.
We Know after Martin Luther stood against the church; The church was reformed.
Dear my friends, please answer by simple words:
1) Do you think the church before Luther was a cruel and savage?
2) Do you think Popes before Luther were cruel and savage?
3) Why you chose Catholic and do not become Protestant?
4) Now, what say Catholic church and Popes about church and Popes in medieval?
5) Is there any reformed in Catholic church after medieval?

Not everyone involved with Bruno's trial thought he should be executed. It was ultimately the decision of the civil authorities to kill him (this is how it actually was with pretty much everyone who was "burnt at the stake by the church.")
I think it's more important that you review the literature yourself and make your own decisions about these questions than rely on the mostly uninformed/misinformed views of others to decide for you.

Perhaps the greatest revelation that came out the reformation. Is that i don't need to go through any organization,or be connected to a freaking institute to LOVE my GOD,and have my own "personal" relationship with HIM. Nor do i need any man to teach me:
1Jn 2:27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.

Death by burning was a common form of execution in the culture of the Middle Ages.

No, rather these were incorrigible heretics. Heresy was considered a capital crime by the State as well as the Church, one which was sometimes punishable by death.
Quote:

Yes, Bruno was an unrepentant heretic (he denied and taught against the Christian doctrine of the Trinity, among other things) who, after being given an extended period of time in which to recant his false doctrines, was finally executed by the civil government in 1600 A.D. For more information, see here.
Quote:
We Know after Martin Luther stood against the church; The church was reformed.
Martin Luther was a Catholic priest who ultimately rebelled against Christ's historic Church by seeking to impose his own fallible theological opinions upon the Church in place of ancient and established Christian doctrine.
Quote:
1) Do you think the church before Luther was a cruel and savage?
The fact is that society before and during Luther's time appears "cruel and savage" to 21st-century moderns who are accustomed to some form of the "separation of Church and State." No such supposed separation existed in the Medieaval Period.
Quote:
2) Do you think Popes before Luther were cruel and savage?
No more so than any other human leaders (kings, emperors, etc.) of that time. The vast majority of the popes were pious and godly men, while a relative few (mostly during the late Renaissance Period) became notorious sinners who followed their own appetites and desires rather than the Holy Spirit and Church teaching.
Quote:
3) Why you chose Catholic and do not become Protestant?
I was an Evangelical Protestant for some forty years before entering the Catholic Church in 2001. I was compelled to become a Catholic for the simple reason that the Catholic Church is that historic Church founded by Jesus Christ himself in 33 A.D. This Church is the only ecclesial group or organization that can trace its leadership (i.e., its bishops) back to Christ and his apostles. The Catholic Church is Christ's own historic Church, against which he promised that the gates of hell would never prevail (Mt. 16:18-19)---and they never have (1 Tim. 3:15).
Quote:
4) Now, what say Catholic church and Popes about church and Popes in medieval?
Modern popes like John Paul II and Benedict XVI have issued formal public apologies for the sins of the Renaissance popes, and have called upon all faithful Catholics to learn from the poor example of such unfaithful leaders.

5) Is there any reformed in Catholic church after medieval?
"The very tradition, teaching, & faith of the Catholic Church from the beginning was preached by the Apostles & preserved by the Fathers. On this the Church was founded..." ~ St. Athanasius (4th cent.)
Why, exactly, would the Church need to do that...?

Apologizing would imply that the Church had no good or just reasons for its conflict with Islam during the Middle Ages, an assumption which is highly dubious.

But the church was ruled over Europe. The rules were approved by the church or the church's request.
