Re: "But I do think that Tomas Torquemada should be raised to the altar."
And this is where we part ways. Tomas the terrible is no doubt in the eternal weeny roast, which is exactly where he belongs.
I'm a big fan of the old Irish Catholic Church (before Pope Adrian)
Not even we TT enthusiasts, or Wahhabists, are so, ah, cheeky as to consign individuals to Hell.
Frankly, I don't think the Irish are so presumptuous, either, but I will ping an Irish-heritage RC to get his opinion on the matter.
I find it hard to believe that the best food available in heaven is cooked at an eternal weenie roast. Other than cuisine and a few onetime youths like Brigitte Bardot, why else would God have created France other than to see to it that the Church Triumphant (those in heaven for those poor denizens of Rio Linda) would enjoy French cuisine eternally as a mere part of the heavenly experience. (Occasional Viennee dishes such as Wienerschnitzel will also be allowed but French chefs have to carry the main burden of providng gustatory delight.
Oh, and St. Tomas de Torquemada (Torquing the sinful since before 1492) is right there at the head table of the Church Triumphant along with Cardinal Jiminez and others who practiced his noble profession, where they actually belong.
