   Thesis: Catholics converted heathens through rape. If Catholics had raped more Protestants, the Protestant Revolution (in need of a Catholic Counter-Rapevolution) could have been avoided and thus the world wars would have never happened and we'd be in the good timeline

     How do you know it had good results? You're suggesting that the situation was good afterwards, and that misses the correct point of comparison which is how good things were in the alternate timeline where you didn't do the bad thing.
     
     At the top of a mountain I saw a gentle winding path down, and I saw a dangerous cliff that I could barely slide down. I chose the cliff and broke all of my limbs. But, I got better, and I also got to the bottom of the mountain. The next time I find myself at the top of the mountain I'm definitely doing what worked last time.
