[Dr. Eckleburg]

"put you and I at the head of the new Inquisition’s torture line"

You are now Catholic?

Were the Jews slaughtered by the Inquisition part of the church in Rome?

Were the Protestant Huguenots slaughtered by the Inquisition part of the church in Rome?

FOX'S BOOK OF MARTYRS
CHAPTER FIVE
An Account Of the Inquisition

"...The principal accusation against those who are subject to this tribunal is heresy, which comprises all that is spoken, or written, against any of the articles of the creed, or the traditions of the Roman Church. The inquisition likewise takes cognizance of such as are accused of being magicians, and of such who read the Bible in the common language, the Talmud of the Jews, or the Alcoran of the Mahometans..."

So according to Rome, heretics who were to be tortured and slaughtered included all those who "read the Bible in the common language and who read the Talmud."

Selective memory

. . . sound like new Stations of the Station of the White Hanky, to me.

yes, it starts out with the Catholic church torturing its own,(why they even think they have that right is mind-boggling) then the blood lust grows and pretty soon, just like Obama, everybody is the heretical enemy, especially anybody trying to stop them. What is unbelievable are the posts here, simply incredible. These people who think it’s ok to torture their fellow church goers and citizens are what? pathological? insane? evil? I dont know, but it’s a scary thing, wow. And, *doing it for God*

[1000 silverlings]

Torturing and killing people, why? Because they dont *think like you do*. they dont *believe exactly like you do.*

The mind reels

[Natural Law]

"So according to Rome, heretics who were to be tortured and slaughtered included all those who "read the Bible in the common language and who read the Talmud." "

Pure unadulterated horse hockey gleaned from the musings of a fringe evangelical anti-catholic website. Again your objective standard of "it agrees with me so it must be true" has left your credibility sorely compromised.

You are entitled to believe whatever you want and your interpretation of Scripture is between you and God, but historical, verifiable facts are not subject to wishful distortion.

Were the Jews slaughtered by the Inquisition part of the church in Rome?

The Spanish Inquisition was not a papal inquisition but rather was an endeavor by the King of Spain as he dealt with the actual and suspected false converts to Catholicism who were accused of treasonously helping the Muslim. Yes, the bulk of them were Jewish converts, so called Marranos or Coversos, and if they declared that they are in fact Jewish, the Inquisition lost all interest in them, -- but the Spanish Court, by the same token, gained an interest.

Protestant Huguenots slaughtered by the Inquisition

I don't think there was any inquisition operating, if you refer to the Barholomew's Night. Vladimir might know more.
