This is why a Holy Inquisition here in this country would be a terrific idea. The Catholic Church in America needs purifucation.

Great idea.

So, which method of execution do you favor for heretics? Burning at the stake, or maybe the rack? Probably the stake based on the Scripture verse you posted.....

The Catholic church's track record on Inquisitions is not one anyone should wish for.

Funny the difference between Protestantism and Catholicism.

Protestants pray for and appeal to people for personal holiness and repentance and revival.

Catholics call for the heavy hand of Rome to crack down on people and force them into line.

No thanks.

lol. If I had read your post first, I could have saved myself the trouble of replying to annalex.

AMEN!

The canonical punishment for heresy has always been excommunication. No one is going to change that.

Don’t see too much of that on FR.

Really, why don't you explain this "difference"?

Can you cite specific cases from similar eras where Catholics and Protestants treated heretics differently?

Perhaps you would like to discuss the case of Michael Servetus. He was found guilty in abstentia of heresy by the Catholics in France based on the letters sent to them by John Calvin and sentenced to death. However, Servetus had escaped to Geneva, where he was tried by the Protestants, again sentenced to death based on letters written by Calvin and burned at the stake.

The TRUTH is that torture and execution of heretics was ACCEPTED by both Catholics and Protestants until at least the 17th century.

Catholics call for the heavy hand of Rome to crack down on people and force them into line.

Oh and what do Protestants prefer be done with heretics? When some Protestant suggests that Jesus Christ was nothing more than a "good man" whose teachings about things like sex are "outmoded" is the Protestant a heretic or just someone to sing an extra verse of "Kumbaya" for?
