The Massacre of the Latins (Italian: Massacro dei Latini; Greek: Σφαγή των Λατίνων) was a large-scale massacre of the Roman Catholic (called "Latin") inhabitants of Constantinople, the capital of the Byzantine Empire, by the Eastern Orthodox population of the city in April 1182.
The Roman Catholics of Constantinople at that time dominated the city's maritime trade and financial sector. Although precise numbers are unavailable, the bulk of the Latin community, estimated at 60,000 at the time by Eustathius of Thessalonica, was wiped out or forced to flee. The Genoese and Pisan communities especially were decimated, and some 4,000 survivors were sold as slaves to the (Turkish) Sultanate of Rum.
The massacre further worsened the image of the Byzantines in the West, and although regular trade agreements were soon resumed between Byzantium and Latin states, the underlying hostility would remain, leading to a spiraling chain of hostilities: a Norman expedition under William II of Sicily in 1185 sacked Thessalonica, the Empire's second largest city, and the German emperors Frederick Barbarossa and Henry VI both threatened to attack Constantinople.
The worsening relationship culminated with the brutal sack of the city of Constantinople by the Fourth Crusade in 1204, which led to the permanent alienation of Eastern Orthodox and Roman Catholics. The massacre itself however remains relatively obscure, and Catholic historian Warren Carroll notes that "Historians who wax eloquent and indignant—with considerable reason—about the sack of Constantinople ... rarely if ever mention the massacre of the Westerners in ... 1182."
As a Catholic I always feel a little bit guilty about the Fourth Crusade. It seems to be nothing more than an act of convenience.
Jace Hill
Think about the 60-80k innocent Catholics who were slaughtered.

The piece of shit sea jews shouldnt have caused so many conflicts in the city if they didnt wish to be driven out.

Kek, that reminds me of how the 4th crusaders were getting tired of sitting around in Constantinople, so they decided to attack the Muslim quarter of the city and the Byzantines stopped them.
Conversely before Saladin, the Sunnis would try to negotiate an alliance with the Byzantines against Shia Fatimid Egypt.

A Greek Orthodox homosexual Byzantine Emperor and violent usurper was teaching a class on Manuel Komnenos, known heretic.
”Before the class begins, you must get on your knees and worship Manuel Komnenos and accept that he was the most majestic Roman Emperor the world has ever known, even greater than Constantine the Great!”
At this moment a brave, chivalrous Catholic Frankish Knight who vanquished 1500 Muslims on a Crusade and understood the necessity of war and fully supported all military decision made by the Pope stood up and held up a fresh Septuagint.
”Who compiled this Bible, pinhead?”
The treacherous Emperor smirked quite Jewishly and smugly replied “The Roman scribes, you stupid barbarian”
”Wrong. It’s been 1,000 years since the Roman Empire fell. If it is 1,400 years old and Greece, as you say, is the home of the Romans… then why don't you possess the Eternal City of Rome itself?”
The Emperor was visibly shaken, and dropped his gaudy icon and copy of Plutarch's Parallel Lives. He stormed out of the room crying those Greek crocodile tears. The same tears Greeks cry for the “disgraced Romans” when they jealously try to claw justly earned land from the deserving Crusaders. There is no doubt that at this point our Emperor wished he had more strictly enforced the East-West Union as agreed upon at the Council of Florence. He wished so much that he had the Imperial Sword to kill himself from embarrassment, but he himself had pawned it off to the Venetians!
The students applauded and all joined the Holy Roman Empire that day and accepted Pope Eugene IV as Christ's Vicar on Earth. A double-headed eagle named “Church and State” flew into the room and perched atop the German Imperial Flag and shed a tear on the chalk. Dies Irae was sung several times, and God himself showed up and enacted a church tithe across the country to renovate St. Peter's Basilica.
The Emperor lost Constantinople and was killed beneath its walls the next day.
Nathaniel Russell
>latins wreck the city fighting each other [citation needed]
Charles Gutierrez
From OP's Wiki article.
The Italians proved uncontrollable by imperial authority: in 1162, for instance, the Pisans together with a few Venetians raided the Genoese quarter in Constantinople, causing much damage. Emperor Manuel subsequently expelled most of the Genoese and Pisans from the city, thus giving the Venetians a free hand for several years.
In early 1171, however, when the Venetians attacked and largely destroyed the Genoese quarter in Constantinople, the Emperor retaliated by ordering the mass arrest of all Venetians throughout the Empire and the confiscation of their property. A subsequent Venetian expedition in the Aegean failed: a direct assault was impossible due to the strength of the Byzantine forces, and the Venetians agreed to negotiations, which the Emperor stalled intentionally. As talks dragged on through the winter, the Venetian fleet waited at Chios, until an outbreak of the plague forced them to withdraw.
The Venetians and the Empire remained at war, with the Venetians prudently avoiding direct confrontation but sponsoring Serb uprisings, besieging Ancona, Byzantium's last stronghold in Italy, and signing a treaty with the Norman Kingdom of Sicily. Relations were only gradually normalized: there is evidence of a treaty in 1179, although a full restoration of relations would only be reached in the mid-1180s.

That article specifically says that many Latins anticipated the massacre and left by ship before it happened. How can they have suffered 100-125% casualties if so many had left before Andronikos even entered the city.

Bet your last dollar that any massacre associated with the Roman Catholics was far worse than any reports ever made.
Alexander Brooks

Well the reality is that the Venetians and Genoese were dominating Mediterranean and Black sea trade. Basically they were doing the Jewish stereotype, controlling the entire financial system. To be honest who knows who learned it from who, the Italians or the Jews.
Also the Italians were causing trouble by being The Godfather tier rabble-rousers.

This was indeed fucked up, but the past century, arrogant Western Crusaders and Latins ran roughshod over Byzantine territory, terrorizing its people, robbing, raping, burning. The earlier Crusaders were notorious for this.
And anyone that says the Sack of Constantinople is retarded as fuck. I'm not even a Byzantinophile, but that incident irrevocably damaged the Empire and would eventually contribute to the advent of the Ottoman Turks to invade the Balkans.

Protestants memeing about Catholic rape cases are hypocrites though.
Daniel Brooks
Could be, I don't know if he is a protestant or not. I am not, I was raised as an orthadox christian, but I'm not very religious these days. I don't care for the ideology behind destroying any possibility for a child to ever feel good about spirituality by making it a gateway to rape them. It is a horrific thing and any system that allows (and potentially even promotes) such things should be dismantled and the people involved trialed and punished.
Aiden Bell

Most of those aren't me, and you are liberally projecting your own feelings onto the posts.
How is this defensive: >You don't need to be a protestant to condone pedophilia, and bait children into sex by using faith and spirituality, forever demolishing that aspect of life for them in their future. It is stating a fact. There are people who both aren't protestant, and don't like pedophilia. I am sure you will agree such people exist.
Now either address the point, or concede.
Gabriel Walker
Then why did you reply to me? I asked that user if he's a protestant (like most vocal anti-Catholic people are) so he could answer yes to which I'd have replied with the facts which expose his hypocrisy:
>Sue Widemark A Penn State historian, Philip Jenkins, has done in-depth research of pedophilia and sexual abuse among the clergy and has come up with some rather eye opening facts (Pedophiles and Priests, Anatomy of a Crisis, Oxford University Press, 1996, Paperback edition, 2001). It seems that while .2 to 1.7 percent of Catholic clergy have been guilty of pedophilia (or sexual abuse particularly of boys, p. 80-82), a whopping 10 percent of Protestant ministers have been found guilty of sexual misconduct with a 2 or 3 percent pedophilia rate (p. 50-52).
>This is all the more interesting, notes Jenkins, since there has been NO media term "Pastor Pedophilia" coined at all! Jenkins theorizes that the media, proving the 'point' of the 'necessity' of sexual promiscuity, overemphasizes any instance of pedophilia found among the Catholic clergy since it can use this to criticize the entire idea of celibacy. But it is interesting that the NON Celibate Protestant ministers have a MUCH GREATER problem with it than the celibate Catholic priests!
>Jenkins' research was based on several highly respected studies and statistics. He points out that whereas sexual misconduct has always been a problem, among Catholic and non-Catholic clergy as well as among the general populace, what is new now is that the 'problem' of priest sexual abuse, constructed by the media as a result of a 'moral panic' occurring in the mid-1980's.
And now according to your logic...: >It is a horrific thing and any system that allows (and potentially even promotes) such things should be dismantled
...all protestant churches should be burned to the ground.
Do you want me to tell you about pedophilia in eastern ''orthodoxy''? Should the ''orthodox'' Church also be DISMANTLED? Actually, should Christianity as a whole be completely destroyed because of a few demonic perverted bastards? You wouldn't mind, wouldn't you considering the fact that you're ''not very religious these days''?

One being a protestant doesn't change the fact that catholic priests have been proven to rape children. Protestants raping children doesn't change the fact that catholic priests have been proven to rape children. Protestants getting defensive doesn't change the fact that catholic priests have been proven to rape children. Someone getting mad on the internet doesn't change the fact that catholic priests have been proven to rape children. You linking to catholic-convert.com doesn't change the fact that catholic priests have been proven to rape children. I am not wearing any pants right now, and I am masturbating while eating a banana with Nutella and that doesn't change the fact that catholic priests have been proven to rape children.

Your whole ""argument"" is that protestants do bad things, thus catholics don't. Logic doesn't work that way.
I can rape a baby, eat it, and shit out its teeth and bones in front of the Vatican while singing Highway to Hell and that would NOT change the fact that catholic priests molest children. Stop with this whataboutism. It doesn't matter what protestants do, that doesn't change what catholics are known to do.

You: >Catholics molest children. >Are you protestant? So do protestants. And orthadox too.
And then you accuse others of acting defensive or being sensitive.
Colton Phillips
>Your whole ""argument"" is that protestants do bad things, thus catholics don't. So you whine about strawmanning yet you strawman yourself. Beautiful hypocrisy right there.
My point is that: >It seems that while .2 to 1.7 percent of Catholic clergy have been guilty of pedophilia, a whopping 10 percent of Protestant ministers have been found guilty of sexual misconduct with a 2 or 3 percent pedophilia rate. so a proddy pulling out the catholic pedo maymay is pure hypocrisy.

Catholic priests are leaders of their ideology, that you aren't born into and choose to enter, they are trained and devoted professionals. Being white isn't a choice. Whites don't have leaders of white men, who are trained to be the whitest men and lead other white men by white example.
Its a very bad analogy.
Isaac Morris
>Catholic priests who rape kids are leaders/teachers of child rape So you do have shit for brains I see.
Angel Turner
>no true priest I guess white men who kill aren't real white men either. And you avoided the part where they are born into it, and trained into it, and the top most devoted ones selected for these representative positions, something that has no equivalent in the "white people" analogy. Further "white people" can murder for any number of reasons like self defense, political reasons, executing criminals, etc, while I haven't heard of much child rape for political reasons, or child rape to punish a criminal. Also matter how many times you say "shit for brains", it will never substitute actually arguing about the point you've been avoiding for half the thread now.
Catholic priests molest children. What should be done about that? Because something should be done about that. No, bringing up other priests from different sects to compare rape logs isn't doing something.
Julian Richardson
>they are born into it, and trained into it What's ''it''? Raping kids? >Catholic priests molest children No, some (and very few) Catholic priests molest children. >No, bringing up other priests from different sects to compare rape logs isn't doing something What I'm doing here is exposing hypocrisy, not making excuses. Your reading comprehension is shit, it's not surprising that you have shit for brains.
Jacob Cox
You are born white, you aren't born a catholic priest. Being white isnt a job that you have to pick and work towards, being a catholic priest is a job that you have to choose and work towards. You aren't trained to be white, you are trained to be a catholic priest. As a white person you arent a representative figure of the white race, as a catholic priest you are a representative figure of the catholic church. There is such a thing as justified killing, there is no such thing as justified child rape. The analogy is very bad.
Also you've posted how many times now, and every time I ask you to confront the issue you bring up protestants. The answer to "what is 1+1" isnt "but 3-1 is also 2!!!!!".

Muhammad was a gluttonous wealthy slave owner, an adulterer, a child-molesting pedophile, a murderer, a liar, he encouraged theft, rape, torture and the list goes on. He was the pawn of Satan after being deceived by a false angel of light and is now in Hell.
He was deceived by a false angel of light, it was a demon, a fallen angel of deception. Satan and his workers are great mimickers and Muhammad, deceived, established a demonic cult of Allah (false-God) called Islam (meaning submission to this false-God, i.e. Satan) which he spread like wildfire by the sword convinced that it was the last revelation of God Almighty.
Islam is none other than Satan's magnum opus, which now has 1.6 billion adherents (23% of the world population) and which will probably be followed by half of the world population by 2050.
>For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.

Jesus is the Christ prophesied in scripture, born of God, undeceivable.
As-salaamu alaikum wa rahmetullahi wa barakatuhu, my friend.
I hope you're all doing well.
Just wanted to leave a reminder, that the gates of repentance, the gates of Jannah are open.
May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala lead you to the rigt path and let the flower of imān grow in your hearts.
Jabir ibn Abdullah reported: When the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, began his prayer, he would exalt Allah and then say, “Verily, my prayer, my rites, my life, and my death are for Allah the Lord of the worlds. He has no partner and with this I have been commanded and I am among the Muslims. O Allah, guide me to the best deeds and the best character, for no one guides to the best of them but you, and protect me from evil deeds and evil character, for no one protects from them but you.”
(10) In their hearts is a disease; and Allah has increased their disease: And grievous is the penalty they (incur), because they are false (to themselves).
