The Inquisition killed fewer people than the civil authority in England. Burning is no worse than drawing and quartering, which was the peculiar little treat that the English provided for the crowds. But behind the talks against the Inquisition, there is the unspoken screed:" See what happens if you take religion seriously. Take all the power away from the priests and governmenst will make nice with their people." Then along came Lenin, who made Torquemado seem like a Quaker.
"Burning is no worse than drawing and quartering,"
Yeah, but THAT was ALSO started under a Catholic Monarch - I think it was Edward I aka "Longshanks".
The Inquisition, the Irish rebellion, the French revolution, the religious battles during the Martin Luther time of Germany, the crusades, the killing of at least 100,000 in Turkey in 1919, etc, etc. We could all go on and on.
