[ CCL: excerpt, emphasis added - St. Bartholomew massacre, Rome's slaughter of Protestant French Huguenots, France - 1572 ]
"Let's go back in history now and touch on what took place in France at the St. Bartholomew massacre and what happened later in Ireland.
We will then look at what took place in Yugoslavia during World War II."
"On August 22, 1572, the bloody St. Bartholomew massacre began. This was to be one fatal blow to destroy the Protestant movement in France.
The king of France had cleverly arranged a marriage between his sister and Admiral Coligny, the chief Protestant leader. There was a great feast
with much celebrating. After four days of feasting the soldiers were given a signal. At twelve o'clock midnight, all the houses of the Protestants
in the city were forced open at once. The admiral was killed, his body thrown out of a window into the street where his head was cut off and sent
to the pope. They also cut off his arms and privates and dragged him through the streets for three days until they finally hung his body by the heels
outside the city."
The New Book Of MartyrsMassacre of Protestants on St. Bartholomew's Day
into the river and blood ran through the streets into the river until it appeared like a stream of blood. So furious was their hellish rage that they
even slew their own followers if they suspected that they were not very strong in their belief in the pope. From Paris, the destruction spread to
all parts of the country. Over eight thousand more people were killed. Very few Protestants escaped the fury of their persecutors."

Thats only the half truth. The calvinist Sect of the Huguenot had fight with the sword and died through the sword ! They all died because they died not obey the teaching of Christ, that true believer will never fight with a sword but with the sword of God.
ReplyDeleteDid the Hugenont children fight with the sword? They did not. Jesus told the disciples to carry swords for protection. You can be a pacifist if you wish. That isn't a sin. Yet, if my family is being assaulted by criminal, I have a God given right to defend my family period. The Hugenont for the most part were victims of terroristic, theocratic, anti-God Papal criminals.
ReplyDeleteI don't worship the sword, but it isn't a sin to own a sword.
