Do the countless who perished during the inquisitions and the auto da fes get retroactively undamned and apologized to?

If there is no hell, what is justice? What is mercy?

Please be patient. Any day now Francis will probably declare that there is no such thing as Purgatory.

Purgatory is not a way to escape Hell. Purgatory is a way to cleanse the soul of sins not expunged during life.
As for the Spanish Inquisitions the numbers are well documented and amount to 3000 to 5000 over 350 years which is far less than the number pf witches burned in the rest of Europe in the same centuries. And contrary to the protestant propaganda the inquisitions only had authority over professed Catholics.
