1. In a Christian monarchy, where Church and State are bound together, heresy against the Church is treason against the State. Therefore, in such a situation, heretics are traitors, and traitors deserve death.

2. The Inquisitions were never empowered to burn or otherwise kill anybody. Such sentences were carried out by the secular authority of the State.

3. The Inquisitions and Christian Monarchy were good things, and should be revived.

In the event you wonder why the RCC and her "ecumenical" aims are not trusted, you are a perfect example.

One more "good" Catholic to be added to the list of "kill the heretics when we are in charge".
