I thought it was bad enough to bother mentioning such a blip as this...

“...at the beginning of the Medieval Inquisition in the early 13th century.”

But the profligate swipe at Christianity was only confirmed, astoundingly, in the next sentences!

“The new birth date is curiously apropos since the tree is in a place called Cathedral Grove, presumably acceptable under the Inquisition, which was characterized by an effort by the Catholic Church to suppress heresy.”

What the hell was the point of this?

They must want to have to keep a 24 hour guard on their sacred tree — before some clear thinking America gives it a thorough girdling.
