If we look to the catholic tradition and their own documents the numbers of those murdered by them would definitely be underestimated to say the least. It was not only during the inquisitions that they murdered innocent people. While attending catholic school and catechism class I use to believe all that the good catholics of today believe and that would be only their documentation. BUT when I grew up and looked around and noticed who Martin Luther, John Huss, John Wycliffe, William Tyndale among thousands of others who were blowing the trumpet of truth against the oppressive ways of the church run state of the catholic church, I began doing research. I have been researching these things all my life.
You certainly can find very revealing videos on You Tube about the abuses of the RCC. Many documents have come to light about them, and they have been proven. Even on 60 minutes they mention how secretive the church is about the truth. Try reading some other sources like Fox's book or martyrs, of Wylies history of Protestantism http://www.reformedreader.org/history/wylie/protestantism.htm ,
or history of the reformation by J. H Merle d'AubigneÌ . These volumnous books are things the RCC wish were not in existence.
Frequently the numbers put forward by anti-Catholic sources, or simply sources which repeat, uncritically, certain figures are not just improbably high, they are near impossible based on the population of Europe in the period; with numbers which rival or surpass the death toll of the Black Death--an event so devastating that as much as half of Europe perished.
If one were to believe some of the figures put forward, we would be left with a Europe devoid of human population.
