Ahhhhh the inquisition...was it a good period in history, absolutely not, but carried out much more as a political, rather than religous movement....do you recall the burning of “witches in early times....darned Catholics.....oh, wait a minute, those were protestants. All churches are made up of fallible people. Catholics have done some stupid things throughout the years, protestants have done their share, and Moslems are at it as we speak. Jesus never promised that all Catholics were infallible, just that the church is.When christianity was threatened by the protestant revolution, why would you think that those who had protected it for 1500 years wouldn’t be more than a little upset?? St thomas more wasn’t treated too good by the English protestants and many other good people, on both sides were tortured and executed. Evil actions by individuals is normally not a good reason to condemn any organization. There is one true Christian church on earth and it is the Catholic church....you may not agree, but that changes nothing. The Catholic Church is 2,000 years old, doing just fine thank you, and has buildings older than any christian denomination..They didn’t do that by accident!
