Well, that has to be one of the more interesting ways of dismissing reality. You wrote:
“As was mentioned previously on this sidebar, there remains considerable disagreement over this inquisition revisionism.”
Not really. Historians agree on what are and are not original sources. The original sources all agree that the numbers were extremely low. Thus, if someone disputes that he is not disputing revisionism. He is disputing clear historical evidence. Again, all historians agree on what are or are not original sources in these matters.
“When Jewish scholars get in the fray, I’ll probably become more curious.”
So, history only interests you when Jews are involved?
“Their ancestors were involved in the matter and, AFAIK, mine weren’t.”
So? Will the truth change just because Jews are involved? I guess only blacks can discuss the history of slavery?
“For now, in my eyes it is simply that, revisionism.”
Bigots often dismiss what they can’t deal with. And what a convenient excuse for you to not care, not be interested, not do research, etc.
I do not dismiss these hyper-inflated casualty numbers as a simple misunderstanding or the product of some independent third party researcher nor those who post and defend these numbers as innocent and unbiased. The amount of work necessary to get it right is not that significant.
From the Jewish perspective, the inquisition began as an internal Christian matter but became a pretext for harassing them including burning many copies of the Talmud, forced conversions, deaths and expulsions. The story of Antonio Jose de Silva is a case in point.
So yes, I am curious whether the Jews are satisfied with the inquisition revisionism. But as with all things, the important part is whether Christ is satisfied with it.
