hey Is
history has a real way of correcting BS
after all these years why isn’t it called the ‘Catholic Inquisition’ instead of the Spanish Inquisition??
It is called the Spanish Inquisition for a reason that still eludes many folks who flunked history and geography.

It never ceases to amaze me how Catholics can blow off as nothing some of most henous sin their church has engaged in throughout its history.

Be amazed all you want. It doesn't change the fact that the Inquisition was fighting Islamic subversion while Protestants were working WITH the Muslims.
Anyway, I doubt you are amazed in the least at what Protestant inquisitions did.
To: GreenHornet
how many of you opened up this thread to look for the Monty Python references? It's a fair cop.

The first stirrings of Due Process. i.e. we give the defendant a chance to speak/recant and then we burn them instead of just burning them first. Hey, its a start.

One good aspect of the Spanish Inquisition, was Christopher Columbus coming to the West searching for a destination for the Jews being driven out of Spain.

The Church needs to re-establish the Inquisition today.
Candidates for their loving touch include Pelosi, Biden, Kerry, Kennedy (take your pick...or the whole lot of them), Kasper, Wuerl, Dolan, Mahony, the German, French, and Swiss bishops...and that's just a small start.
And if the State has a criminal penalty for heresy, so be it. If a person was to be found guilty of heresy and refuses to repent, they have already condemned themselves to eternal perdition...what happens to their earthly bodies as a result of government action pales in comparison to that.

One could say that there was one big similarity between Catholic and Protestant Inquisitions. The Protestant Inquisition targeted people who claimed to be Catholic. The Catholic Inquisition targeted people who claimed to be Catholic.

rather than Sola Scriptura which would have guided them away from this shameful sinful path. You mean like God ordering Joshua to wipe out all the other residents of the promised land. Or how about Abraham rescuing Lot by waging war against the 5 kings?
Keep in mind the times these events all occurred in.

The main difference being that the protestants did not do so for nearly a millennia - Protestantism righted itself in a matter of decades. And ALL of Protestantism cannot be painted with that brush - The Anglicans and Calvinists perhaps, but not the whole lot... One of the virtues of a distributed modelPssst, Baptists, KKK, Slavery, Did you manage to forget that connection?

“...Protestants did not do so for nearly millenia...”
This statement is not supported by actual history.
The Arians murdered St. Paul of Constantinople circa 350 A.D. for his adherence to the correct understanding of the Trinity. The Arians were protestants who did not believe in the Trinity - they were responsible for many persecutions and cruelty against the early Christians who held onto the correct doctrine (the Catholics) handed down from the Apostles.
Medivial peasants on both sides were unlearned peasants who were prone to viciousness and violence. Virtually none could read.
Almost everyone was illiterate. Research the sack of Rome in 1527; Protestants had no qualms pillaging and burning with the rest.

That's because they followed the commandments of men (and their base desires) rather than Sola Scriptura which would have guided them away from this shameful sinful path. Read the accounts in this thread of Protestant inquisitions (presumably guided by "Sola Scriptura") against Catholics.
There are also conflicts between Protestant sects with different interpretations of Sola Scriptura. What? Oh, I see, only YOUR sect's interpretation is the real Sola Scriptura...

Yes, convert or die.

It would only be a start.
Then it would go beyond that to whomever they deem to qualify.
NOWHERE does Jesus ever condone the kind of actions sanctioned by the church towards those who were part of the body.

From nearly everybody until about 300 years ago give or take, including from your own brand of Protestantism.
Unless of course, your favored brand wasn't made up until much more recently, which is entirely possible.
To: metmom
Where have we heard that before?Henry VIII, Elizabeth I, James the flamer, that gave us the error laden KJV, Calvin,. Let's not forget the Salem witch trials that had their beginnings in Sola Scriptura.

You mean like God ordering Joshua to wipe out all the other residents of the promised land. God is sovereign over the universe. Unlike man.
