Why was it that, depsite all the enlightend scientists-Christians in its membership, it took the church almost two centuries to even acknowledge auto-da-fe of Giodano Bruno as "mistake."

I don't expect Dr. Koop to apologize for Dr. Mengele. So you need to call up those who took responsibility for it. By the way you sound like some of those retributions folk.

Oh, my: your moral relativism has propagated so deeply...

It is very sad that you see no difference between the two. Someone has to point out that Mengele's actions were never sanction by the medical profession, which expressly admonishes the opposite from what he did; whereas Bruno, and hyndreds of thousands of other "heretics" have been burned at the stake not by a rogue monk but by the official representatives of the Church, by the office created expressly for that purpose.

You should acqaint yourself also with the notion of fiduciary duty before you turn table on others.

Finally, it is interesting that you can infer what I think about the world and my opinions on the issue solely from a question I posed. Someone has to tell you that you have no chance of being correct doing that.

Your accusation is not neutral, however: you put me in company with not-so-nice people, without a shread of evidence. Have you heard of Commandments, Andrew?

All I have learned from your post that you are moral relativist, not suffciently familar with commandments, who probably goes to church on Sundays and got offended at the possibility that the Church may have done something wrong in the past. Thank you.
