So, history only interests you when Jews are involved?

With regard to any subject not just history, my primary interest concerns Jesus Christ who is God enfleshed as a Jew.

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.

That is preposterous. Your concern should be with the truth, not whether any single group is OK with revisionism, distortion and lies.

Here is a point to ponder. The royalty of the medieval period ruled by what they claimed to be divine right, as determined and predestined by God. Anyone not believing in God represented a threat to their authority.

To this end inquisitions were called by secular authorities as a litmus test for loyalty. The standard was Christianity and the Church's participation in the Inquisitions only determined whether an accused was Christian or not. The Church passed and carried out no sentences. That is why your Professor Rummel did not include the victims of the inquisitions in the category of Religious Genocide.

Now ask yourself if you believe that Christ is satisfied or happy with you distorting the history of the Church.

You wrote:

So, you are now essentially contradicting yourself.

“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.”

1) There is no “Jewish perspective” on the inquisition. Kamen shows you are simply wrong on that score. He is Jewish.

2) The inquisition could not try Jews unless they violated natural law for their jurisdiction covered only Christians so you can put away fantasies about “forced conversions, deaths and expulsions” - none of that was the practice of the inquisition.

3) Antonio Jose de Silva was a baptized Christian as had been his parents - thus he came under the authority of the inquisition in his country. If he was a Jew, that would not have been a case. We was already under arrest when he was but 21 years old for judaizing. He was tortured for information, confessed, was penanced and released. Years later after making hundreds of enemies he was denounced by one of his slaves for judaizing. The evidence came out: he had undergone Jewish circumcision while also joinging a Franciscan order to trick people. Terrible duplicity indeed. Silva clearly was disloyal to both religions. That’s bound to get you in trouble with someone.

“So yes, I am curious whether the Jews are satisfied with the inquisition revisionism.”

Kamen is a Jew. He used the original sources. Care to refute him?

“But as with all things, the important part is whether Christ is satisfied with it.”

And you’re going to judge that? How would Christ judge de Silva for his duplicity?
