Let's face it, the world is full of men, imperfect men. The men who led the inquisition were nothing less than monsters. Each of us would go back and stop them if we could. But does that blemish the glory of Jesus, the Christ? It cannot. Instead, it is a warning to us all of the evil that men can do; we can't change the past but we can scorn and revile it with our own, modern invective, if only to vainly punish the past for the sorrow we ourselves feel.

Demanding apologies for 700 year old atrocities is about as realistic as demanding apologies for a 200 year old slavery system. Can reparation demands be far behind?

Did you even bother to read the article??? It does not in any way deny the Inquisition. If you can't defeat the argument, accuse the opponent of being a Neo nazi denying the Holocaust, eh?

A kinder, gentler Inquisition. They didn't mean to rip the skin from hundreds of thousands
of naughty people, you know.
To: proud2bRC
The Official Roman Catolic history of the Inquisition!!!!!Pious was Innocent and Innocent was Pious,BWAAAHAHAHA... no one can say any different because the Cathyrs,'witches' and everyone else were all freaking killed.
To: proud2bRC
"Many Americans, Catholics as well as non-Catholics, have an understanding of history... Many Americans could not tell you what years the Nixon administration spanned and a recent Vice President of our nation could not identify a bust of Thomas Jefferson or Benjamin Franklin. This writer assumes too much.
To: Governor StrangeReno
The only folks who cry about Cathyrs are Freemasons. Go home to your lodge buddies, OK?
To: Joe 6-pack
This writer assumes too much. You're probably correct. Just look at the idiotic bigots posting to this thread.
To: Governor StrangeReno
Gosh, the Inquisition got such a bum rap.
Hell, I'd love to have been a heretic. Like a visit to Club Med.
(Secret lodge handshake of the Illuminati.)
To: proud2bRC
You are correct. After rereading my post I realize it may have come across as a jab at the author of the piece. It was not intended as such; however, I think, given the general American attitude towards history, the author may be casting pearls before swine...
To: Joe 6-pack
the author may be casting pearls before swine... Kinda like posting it here?
To: proud2bRC
thank you for the link.

A kinder, gentler Inquisition. They didn't mean to rip the skin from hundreds of thousands of naughty people, you know.Nice to see you read the piece (doubtful) and now have a grasp of history (clearly not).
Even after reading the truth, you still spout lies. God have mercy on your soul.

I never got that handshake down pat like Moe from the three stooges.
