Correction that Trent came before the de la Barre incident is noted.

If memory serves me correctly, a hundred years later, in France, the Church brutally murdered Chevalier de la Barre (they pulled out his tongue for God's sake!), for either refusing to doff his hat to a procession of Capuchin monks or for uttering some blasphemy, depending on your historical source. Then came the Council of Trent, and your point becomes even stronger.

Correction that Trent came before the de la Barre incident is noted.

To be precise, the poor Chevalier was executed by the French state (not the Catholic Church) two hundred years after the Council of Trent.
