While authorities continue to investigate to determine whether this man had ties to ISIS, the terror organization has not been quiet in praising the attack.

I have. I was a big medieval history buff as a kid. The church I was part of in the 1900s didn't have inquisitions or crusades. They were a lot more about bake sales and the occasional carnival or bingo night.
If you want to extend the question to "Was the Inquisition wrong? Were the Crusades wrong?" Yes and yes.

Don't forget protecting pedo-priests. Also there is the matter of complicity in the rwandan genocide. [theguardian.com]
Neither of which the church has fully come to grips with yet.
Anecdotally, my friend was forced to marry her rapist at the age of 18 in the phillipines, and she wasn't even from a poor family - she attended the most prestigious university in the country. (15 years later she was granted an annulment by the very same priest after her husband had cracked her head open and left her for dead in the street).
I don't say that to bag on catholicism, but rather to point out that individuals can experience the same religious institution in wildly different ways.

I haven't. That's why I left. I had kids and the fact that people knew that was happening and didn't stop it was a deal breaker.
