My ancestor was burned at the stake — in 1612, IIRC — because he didn’t believe in infant baptism. (It’s not Biblical.) I guess I won’t forgive them.

Acts 18:8 and the Didache. Infant baptism is biblical.

Burning at the stake was typically done by secular authorities who wanted pure Catholicism in their land.

Do Catholics forgive Protestants for killing them? Think of Spain, England, Mexico.

Many Catholics followed Christ’s teaching on the Cross, “Father, forgive them, they know not what they do.”
