Justify the cruel behavior between Catholics and other Christians?

I can't. Over the centuries, Christians of all persuasions have persecuted those they could dominate. So, the Catholics persecuted the Arians, the Cathars and, where possible, the Protestants. In turn, Protestants persecuted Catholics in those countries where Catholics were in a minority. Protestants even persecuted other Protestants, such as when the Church of England persecuted the Puritans. The only credible explanation is that Christianity contains an element of intolerance that is usually kept hidden.
