RC’s never fail to provide gamecock for material for his homepage.

What are we doing? Living in the 13th century? Calling for an Inquisition and violence and these FReepers still maintain their posting privileges?

I would like just one Catholic to find just one verse in the NT, particularly the teachings of Jesus that in any way justifies the atrocities and barbarity of the Inquisition.

What in Biblical Christianity supports the power of the church to torture and kill those who disagree with them?

What kind of warped, twisted thinking would deny a person their FREE WILL to choose to follow Christ with threats of a slow, horrible, excruciating death commanded by a man who purports to be the representative of Christ Himself on the earth? It’s totally mind boggling the rationale and justification for that and then to see calls for it repeated today.

Still waiting for a Scripture verse to defend the *Holy* Inquisition.

You need not return so far back as the 13th. century, you could simply review the role of the Catholic Church in the genocide that was Rwanda.

Now we know what a modern day Inquisition would look like.
