Catholics/Protestants: How do you recognize this anniversary of the St. Bartholemew's Day Massacre?

We don't celebrate it. Nor do we celebrate the massacre of Catholics that have been killed in England, Ireland, Scotland, Africa and the US. The Klan was still killing Catholics in the south not too long ago.

If you look at the massacre politically, the Queen ordered the eradication of the Protestants because it was a threat to her crown. I seriously doubt the Pope was gleeful. It was a horrible time in history, full of turmoil and hardship, but if you look at history anywhere during the Middle Ages it was pretty tumultuous everywhere.

The Pope also blessed the Italian air force as it left to bomb a defenceless Abyssinia just before WW II. It was the good Catholic pontiff endorsing the putting to death of the enemy. Bless you my son.

We do not celebrate it. It is a horrible human mistake in history. We remember the horrors of it and learn from our mistakes. The same way we Americans remember Hiroshima. With sadness and regret.

Is this supposed to be a News Flash?. I could mention ALL the Catholics that were murdered by Luther and Henry VII with his reformists!. And NO there is NO such celebration, your just trolling!.

AH the good old days. When church and state work in unison to accomplish the will of the people. And by people I mean everybody except the Hguenots. Makes you wannna take a double swig of jesus blood today.

i don't think Pope Gregory XIII ordered a celebration or a medal to be struck. i think he was appalled

You wouldnt learn about that in Catholic Schools. Just yet another example of how religions cause war

Roman Catholicism equals Death.

I never have nor would want to those popes do tend to be blood thirsty.

i don't know all i know is catholics are devils in disguise. i'm a protestant i protest against the lies of satan.
