You want a debate on “The Inquisitions”, give me a week and do a separate thread start and ping me. My files are in PC 100 miles from here in repair.
The start from here will be what the Popes had to say on the various inquisitions. Suggest you as well look up a two part BBC documentary dome in late 90’s. Seems even the Limeys have somewhat realized much history distorted, and I’d add by guess who: The Freemasons.
This man did his share stateside here-tell me if he was a fellow of yours:

BBC special was broadcast in either 1994 or 1995.
Google etc. I see also Vatican has recently enough (2004) done an 800 page summary

which will still be wishy-washy as it was done under Bp Wojtyla.
England is “Mary’s Dowry”. Perhaps there is some semblance of a straightening there.
And there are always defrocked Masons wishing to get even with the Order. They will tell you paranoids what you want to hear, no matter if it is an outright lie.
