Deflect! Deflect!
But under no case, answer the question: “...did the Catholic Church approve of heretics being burned at the stake? Did it partake or permit it?”
I should mention that I haven’t read Foxe in years, and have no desire to do so now.
Here. I’ll answer for you. Of COURSE the Catholic Church approved of heretics being burned at the stake.
And, of course, the beliefs of those burnt coincide in many cases with my own. Happily, I don’t live in a place where the Catholic Church has power of life & death over us. I’m a wimp, and doubt I’d hold up well to being burnt.
Why would I answer your question? I’m interested in taking the questions of those genuinely interested in the Catholic Church, but not those who ask only for the sake of attack and/or games of gotcha.
