Do you remember the conqisdors? They decimated the Native American
population in South America and wiped out the Incas. The Jesuits used
to kiddnap Native Americans and force them to convert.

How about a more recent example? Remeber Oliver North and his
Christian Officers Club? They sold missles to Iranians to kill Iraqis,
then diverted the funds without Congressional appropriation to fund a
catholic cult called Contras who killed anyone that doesn't convert
and sware off communism.
