The Church has a duty to determine what is heresy. This is not a political act, to find out what the person’s beliefs are, if he is going to profess them publicly.
When that is not observed, we have “Catholic” institutions like Notre Dame promoting Obama drones.
The issue was about torturing people by the catholic leadership, (Inquisition), annalex....so then are you supporting that in order to get a confession of heresay? Because that is exactly what the church did to many innocent people. You know the Inquisition was brutal to those in and outside the church...and you know fully well who ordered these...the leadership of the church while they held hands with Romes Political Machine. The bribes and payoffs were plentiful for all in power...and this still happens in the catholic church today.
