Reply to comment by joaommx in Canada House of Commons unanimously agrees to describe residential schools as genocide by shpydar

If that were true then explain the troubles? If Protestants and Anglicans think themselves the same as Catholics why did they opress and murder them simply because they were Catholics? May I point out the troubles only ended in 1998.

I also have linked to the holy wars between Catholics and Christians that were fought for over 200 years into the late 1800's.

The historic abuses against Catholics by other Christian sects is why Catholics do not see themselves as Christians, even if those sects think they are all one united Christian theocracy.

Also Eastern Orthodox Catholics do not consider themselves Christians as well.

Catholics and Protestants being of the opinion they are different from eachother has nothing to do with claiming Catholics don’t see themselves as Christians:

> Catholics do not see themselves as Christians

They do see themselves as Christians, like they see all the other Christian sects as Christians.

In fact it’s kind of the other way around from what you wrote. Some extremist nutcase Protestant sects are the ones who don’t see Catholics as Christians.
