[Cronos]

Name your sites that you cite. Can you name ANY site that disputes the numbers of 3000 to 5000 executions over 200 years with a conviction rate of only 2%?

That's lesser than modern day courts.

And, your bits about the Popes are from lying websites, those pastors or whoever posted them on those websites that you read are lying to you --> check any IMPARTIAL books or websites and you would see. I already pointed out the lies about the Cathar, now you can find out the other lies that the various preachers and pastors from the denominations and sects and cults outside The Church tell you.

[Natural Law]

"That's lesser than modern day courts."

It is beyond hypocrisy to judge any of the many Inquisitions, both Catholic and Protestant alike, through a 21st century lens. Until the 19th century most crimes were capital crimes and incarceration was an overly expensive and infrequently used solution. Justice was not about rehabilitation, it was about punishment.

In this environment when taking ones property and taking ones life would surely result in a death sentence how much more serious was the taking of ones soul?
