Note: I do not expect the anti-Catholics here to have done dissertations on topics being debated. It would just be nice if they had ever read a single reputable book on the subject or even a single scholarly article on the subject, but, as so often is the case, especially with the inquisition, again and again, the response turns out to be that the anti-Catholic has never read even a single book or even a single scholarly article on the subject. Not. Even. One.

Then perhaps you could at least post some of the sources you used in the thesis you claim you wrote.

Then we all can make the determination if you used legit scholarly sources or did you just use biased catholic sources.

And to your general blanket statement that non-catholics haven't read up on the Inquisition you speak on another topic of which you do not know what you claim.

“Then perhaps you could at least post some of the sources you used in the thesis you claim you wrote.”

Nope. I see no point in doing so for the following reasons:

1) It has no bearing on the fact that Protestant anti-Catholics who post about the inquisition invariably almost invariably have never read a single book or scholarly article about the inquisition.

2) I have no interest in digging out my dissertation for no other reason than to post titles you’re almost guaranteed to never have heard about let alone read. You simply have no competence that I am aware of to evaluate them. So, if I were to post this title: Gerd Schwerhoff’s Die Inquisition: Ketzerverfolgung in Mittelalter und Neuzeit, it effectively means nothing to you either way. So what exactly is the point?

“Then we all can make the determination if you used legit scholarly sources or did you just use biased catholic sources.”

No, I’ve never seen any evidence at all that you have even the slightest competence to make that judgment.

“And to your general blanket statement that non-catholics haven’t read up on the Inquisition you speak on another topic of which you do not know what you claim.”

I said “anti-Catholics”. I said nothing about “non-catholics”. If you can’t get something that simple right, why on earth would you think you’re competent to judge anything about scholarship?
