Protestants have done many bad things through the history, while the catholic church has almost never done anything wrong. We should be proud of the heroic crusaders who should role models for us, and for the holy inquisition who saved many from hell by silencing false converts.

[Don't you have enough problems in the "great white North" to keep you occupied?] We have, and the only solution is a coup like General Franco's. The "archbishop" of the Lutheran state "church" are going to speak on Stockholm gay pride, he deserve a nail in his neck!

Just at the top of my head: the Dark Ages,
The dark ages were caused by the fall of the Roman Empire and subsequent destabilization of Europe. The church had nothing to do with it. In fact, the church is responsible for preserving many important historical texts (although unfortunately, did deliberately destroy some they disagreed with) and providing some semblance of a stabilizing force (although they certainly should have done a lot of things differently and better).

the witch hunts,
Done by err...puritans....

the inquisition,
which was instigated by the monarchy of spain, and initially opposed by the church which did attempt to rein in some of the inquisition's excesses. Not to downplay the loss of life and use of torture, but less than 2000 people were executed in 350 years. Certainly not a bright spot in the history of the church, but hardly the widespread genocide people like to make it out to be.

the crusades,
No argument on that point

and the relocation and protection of pedophilic priests
Again, no argument on this point.

The church has done plenty of bad stuff without propagating misconceptions that only weaken arguments when used against people who recognize them as fallacious.

@SeekerDarksteel, victim of Catholic rewrites
" the witch hunts,

Google Catholic witch hunts. Catholics indeed totured and killed many accused of witchcraft under at least two Popes, true they stopped but they're still somewhat responsible for reformation sects being influenced by the previous Catholic practices, not to mention that bloody book which to this day supports such shit.

The Catholics did not end the Dark Ages, the church was defanged and the age of enlightenment began as scattered free kingdoms arose. Had Europe not thrown the shackles off the almost total subjecation would have been continued, many still call for it's return in the church and many still think they can bark orders at goverment and the public.
