'''The Catholic Church not able to take the Holy Spirit or Revelation from the people''': The Catholic Church did set up the Inquisition to examine and reconvert "heretics". However, this was a slow process, and the majority of the martyrs during this time were not given the option to recant prior to their execution. For example, in 1209 the crusader army attacked the Cather town of Béziers. Instead of separating the Catholic faithful from the Cathar "heretics", the papal legate Arnaud-Amaury, Abbot of Cîteaux, declared “Kill them all, the Lord will recognise His own”. Arnaud, later wrote to Pope Innocent III and declared: "Today your Holiness, twenty thousand heretics were put to the sword, regardless of rank, age, or sex". These "heretics" therefore died in the faith, and were not given space to recant as was given the early Christian Church during the reign of the pagan Roman empire. | '''The Catholic Church not able to take the Holy Spirit or Revelation from the people''': The Catholic Church did set up the Inquisition to examine and reconvert "heretics".

|For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows. | |||
|And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand. And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine. | |||
