[OLD REGGIE]

I think the name has been changed.

It was a rhetorical question. The office still exists, with the same charter, under a different name. Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith

Yes, the Office still exists. I think it did go through a couple of name cnages over the years. I was trying to relocate my link from the Vatican on this. If you have the link, could you send it to me.

Did you know that in 2000 in Mexico Catholics were persecuting Protestants? Threatening them with machetes.

While I don't doubt that some people would try to protect others from heresy hunters, I do question just how long they might be able to hold out, especially if they were suspected of harboring 'heretics' or those considered a danger to the faith. How long might they still protect those with differing views, if their own children and families become threatened?

Who was it that said. 'History repeats itself.'?

But it is no longer a court. In form and function, the original inquisition operated very much like the original grand jury in an English county.
