The only question I have is why there have to be multiple inquisition posts - a new one arising everytime someone reminds us that Rome tells it's side, then history provides us with another picture. Rome can't seem to tell the truth - and it's understandable. The truth paints them into a bad corner doctrinally. Thus as noted on the other threads, the history shows that Rome pushed, poked and prodded the civil authorities to give heresy the death penalty, and then strongarmed it's enforcement under threat of excommunication and heresy thereafter. Now Rome says, 'we didn't kill nobody, it was the fault of the civil authorities'. That's the stance in your postings time after time and it's in the Catholic encyclopedia, etc. It's a lie on it's face. Has nothing to do with whether anyone likes you or not, likes catholicism or not. Some of us are just sick of being lied to.
The historical myopia of some who post on the Freeper boards is dumbfounding. English and German Catholics were slaughtered in the MILLIONS by radical Protestants, who used the secular authorities to cover their crimes. Look it up!
English and German Catholics are STILL waiting for the Anglicans and Lutherans to return the churchs, relics, artwork, and real estate that they STOLE from the Catholic Church. And its been CENTURIES since these things were stolen. A truer example of "history is written by the victors" is hard to find.
Don't know that there have to be, but things are pretty slow on the BBS and most are drifting in and out, sometimes dropping in with something they think might be interesting. FR is getting multiple threads on just about every topic.
Perhaps you'd like to investigate the backgrounds of the researchers and determine if they were merely propagandistic hacks, or the best experts in their fields. Could it be that it was the British and American text-book publishers who didn't like Catholicism?
