The Crusades
The Catholic church believes in just wars and has indeed waged holy ones called crusades against many non-Catholics who it despised and considered "infidels". The Roman Catholic Church believes in peace and harmony and will not harm any other Christian or any other religion.
Catholics believe that all life is sacred and oppose unnecessary wars.
If you mean 'civil' wars then you have the great east / west schism. Or against others the spanish inquistion. not wars in the battlefield sense but certainly conflicts. then of course you have the crusades.
Well, he was the king of England who had six wives. That in itself is interesting. Two of them were executed by his command. Besides that he split with the Catholic church and formed his own church the Church of England. This led to the English Reformation which promoted religious wars or at least battles that went on for centuries.Well, he was the king of England who had six wives. That in itself is interesting.

The Roman Catholic church may not follow the bible explicitly however they promote morality in all nations and cultures. Much of Africa is immoral however, wars and disease run rampant through northern Africa. The catholic church has nothing to dO with that.
because the Roman Catholic church lost many wars.... BUTthey still regained back the Holy Land
Catholic AnswerNobody. The Church, since its inception; has been infused with the Grace of God and Christ, Himself, promised that not even the Gates of Hell shall prevail against it. The Church still has the same power and influence over its flock as it had in the beginning.Secular AnswerPerceptions change over time. The fact is, as told by those in the church, who have left the church, and objective historians, personal apathy, dissatisfaction, and changing priorities have reduced the power and influence of the Catholic Church.The decline began perhaps as a result of the waves of plague that rolled through medieval Europe, or the Enlightenment period of the 18th century. Maybe it has been the nearly constant wars of the past three hundred years.
Roman Catholic AnswerKing Henry VIII of England made no changes to the Catholic Church, he left the Church and established his own church in England: the Church of England. You got to be kidding. Henry the 8th razed all the monastaries and confiscated all the riches therein to fatten his coffers to finance his many wars.. He declared the Catholic religion to be outlawed and anybody who was caught practising was punished in ways we now think of as a sort of genocide. The whole of England practised what Henry said or you died. PERIOD
Yes, at least until the Reform Wars (1857-1861) when Mexican president Benito Juarez advocated for a secular government.
Martin Luther's reformation caused Anglicanism to arise in England. The reformers also accelerated the development of the Catholic Counter-Reformation of the Catholic Church. Wars between princes & peasant uprisings developed. Luther's message of salvation through the unmerited grace of God was not readily accepted by the Roman Catholic Church, however, his message resonated with those in Europe who sought reform in the Roman Catholic Church.
A better question would be "when did the church not inflict cruelty or unusual punishment?" If by" the church" you mean the catholic, protestant, or Orthodox, (from which all churches basically sprouted out of,) then I can guarantee that their history is full of it. Frankly, without religion the world would have a lot less fighting, torture and wars. Can't we all just get along and be Unitarian Universalists?!
