299. That was one of the reasons the Romans persecuted us. |

In what was heard outside of churches early on, they thought we were having orgies (giving the kiss of peace on the cheek) and committing murder and cannibalism (Communion). That got spread around and helped contribute to all of the executions and persecutions of Christians in the early Church.
Of course, that's not how we look at it, but I can see how it could be taken that way.
