Details, details....

Speaking of being Christ’s representatives on earth, I’m still trying to figure how the Inquisition reflects Christlikeness.

It appears that tradition could justify the torture and brutal murders of people who refused to capitulate to the Catholic church, but am coming up short on Scripture to justify it.

Sola Scriptura couldn’t justify it.

Yes..the Inquisition was an atrocity beyond imagination. Not long ago I looked closer at that period of catholic history...I knew it was bad I did not realize the depth of evil and brutality that it went to in it's barbaric and cruelty of the people then....all in the name of the church!
