A lot of religions have done bad things, but it might only be the Catholics who have a pit of dead babies.

That was awhile ago. And look what happened to the Cathaginians.

Meanwhile the Catholic Church keeps chugging along like nothing happened. Hell, people keep sending their children to Catholic schools.
