Iit took the Protestant Reformation for Christians to move beyond such barbarities, and even so, it even took Protestants many decades to shed these very odious, learned behaviors, to the betterment of all Christendom. No more burning at the stake, no more digging up dead bodies to punish the dead. Such a silly, dusty old superstition, as if
we judge the dead.
Now, about that veneration of body parts in your church ...

You're apparently desperate to change the subject away from the topic of the thread.

No more burning at the stake, So, were Catholics to blame for the Salem witch trials and subsequent executions?
Keep in mind that we are talking about an event that took place nearly two centuries after the Reformation. It took place in a place that was nearly entirely Calvinist and it is doubtful that the average person in Salem had ever even met a Catholic.
