Most people brought before the Inquisition were not tortured or killed, etc. The Inquisition required at least two witnesses to the heresy (so that neighbors couldn't fink on neighbors to acquire their property.) So they didn't just randomly kill people for heresy - they required two witnesses first. I guess the inquisition wasn't such a bad idea after all.

I wonder how long it took the neighbors to figure out that two of them could split the dead guy's property?
