To: Dr. Eckleburg
The "necessary steps" to "oust the bishops" are right in front of your eyes. Even Donald Trump knows how to do it. YOU'RE FIRED!

No bishop can be deposed from office without a full and intensive investigation, i.e. inquisition.

Read the link I offered you. The Inquisition was NOT "only concerned with public, baptized Catholics." Nor were "Jews and Muslims outside of its scope."

Your selective quoting of me is deceitful. I said "The Spanish Inquisition was only concerned with public, baptized Catholics. Jews and Muslims were outside of its scope." Your source says that Jews were persecuted in France but does not dispute what I said.

Your selective quoting of me is deceitful. I said "The Spanish Inquisition was only concerned with public, baptized Catholics. Jews and Muslims were outside of its scope." Your source says that Jews were persecuted in France but does not dispute what I said.

So, when very your next sentence, which Dr. Eckleburg also quoted, states,

Inquisition is purely an internal Catholic matter and not really the business of any non-Catholic.
is "Inquisition" here a generalization, or did you intend to refer only to the Spanish Inquisition?

What Dr. Eckleburg clearly disputed are your claims that inquisition was "only concerned with public, baptized Catholics", and that "Jews and Muslims were outside of its scope." Dr. Eckleburg didn't say anything about the Spanish Inquisition per se. You did. Resorting here to your modifier, "Spanish" to the class of Inquisitions as though that single class were representative of the whole class of Inquisitions is utterly fallacious and impotent to rebut in the least anything Dr. Eckleburg actually said,

Sorry, Dr. Eckleburg is not deceitful just because you commit a fallacy of hasty generalization.

Cordially,
