Who did Cromwell burn at the stake for being a Catholic, or in his terms a heretic?
I'm not saying Cromwell was always a nice guy, but he didn't burn heretics.
No, he just dispossesed and oppressed Irish Catholics. Saying the Mass was a crime. "Heresy," "treason," and "Catholic" were synonymous.

That's what I was arguing for, or about. I see you're going for the burning part. Don't know about that, I was just going for the sanctioned-killing-on-religious-grounds part.
Thus, Cromwell.
