“You really think they are going to admit that torture and death for heretics was a mistake?”
No I don’t really think that they will. If they did, it would mean that the Church is not infallible in matters of spiritual doctrine. So, they’re stuck in a theological Catch 22 of their own devising.
Still, that doesn’t mean we should stop demanding they confront the elephant in the room. They can ignore their own shortcomings all they want, but I’ll not enable them by being to polite to mention them.
Amen, Boogieman.
