ONE of the paradoxes of history is that some of the worst crimes against humanity—equaled only by 20th-century concentration camps—were committed by Dominican or Franciscan friars belonging to two preaching orders purported to be dedicated to preaching Christ’s message of love.
It is difficult to understand how a church that subscribes to the inspired statement, “All who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted,” could itself become a persecutor [or troublemaker]. (2 Timothy 3:12, Revised Standard Version, Catholic Edition) How was it possible?
