The number one job of the inquisition was to reconcile sinners and heretics with the Church. I think he does that.

Torturing them to death is a sure fire way to win souls. It just makes people want to run right back into the warm, living arms of the mother church.

NOT!!!!

Sounds way too much like another world wide major *religion* to me.

But then again, y'all are buddies according to the CCC, so it shouldn't surprise anyone in the least.

“Torturing them to death is a sure fire way to win souls.”

The inquisition tortured no one to death. Torture was used for confessions - as was done in criminal courts in many places of Europe at the time. No confession gained under torture, however, could be used in any criminal trial as proof of guilt.

Ignorance can be avoided but for some reason many Protestants, and all Protestant anti-Catholics, revel in their ignorance about Church history. Apparently being stupid is actually a desired trait among Protestant anti-Catholics.

And you were baptised Catholic and you’re still a Catholic, just put lapsed in front of the word. You and Nancy Pelosi have a lot in common. Both Catholics (whether you want to acknowledge it or not), and both badmouth the Church they were baptised into.
