I know...let's have another Inquisition...all non-believers must either renounce their mistaken beliefs, or die a heretic!

The Inquisition only applied to heretical self-described Catholics. The Church has never claimed jurisdiction over non-Catholics.

Kind of loses it's aura of eminent doom and terror when you let facts get in the way of the black legend.

Cow Pies!

The Inquisition lasted for over 500 years. You might want to read some Jewish history (I know: HORRORS!). Quite a few of them were not "self-described catholics".
