Dr. Eckleburg didn't say anything about the Spanish Inquisition per se.

In response to my request that she "be specific" in her objections to what I wrote, she selectively quoted from my sentence to cut out the word "Spanish." She then juxtaposed the hacked quote to events that took place 200 years prior in France. That was deceitful.

Your defense that she was not deceitful rests entirely upon the supposition that she was really referring to another sentence that she never quoted. That is quite a stretch.

This is what you wrote: (The bolded sentences were quoted directly by Dr. Eckleburg)

No, you must have never learned history. The Spanish Inquisition was only concerned with public, baptized Catholics. Jews and Muslims were outside of its scope. On the other hand, any heretical Catholic bishops seeking to destroy the Church from within should be investigated and punished, then and now.

The Spanish government had made heresy a capital crime. Catholic heretics who would not repent were turned over to the state. It is unlikely that modern states would pass similar laws against heresy. Inquisition is purely an internal Catholic matter and not really the business of any non-Catholic.

So again I ask, when you said, "Inquisition is purely an internal Catholic matter and not really the business of any non-Catholic", is "Inquisition" a generalization, or did you intend to refer only to the Spanish Inquisition?

Second, when you say that she selectively quoted from your sentence to cut out the word "Spanish", what sentence are you talking about? Dr. Eckleburg's quotation of your words has the word, "Spanish" in it.

Your defense that she was not deceitful rests entirely upon the supposition that she was really referring to another sentence that she never quoted. That is quite a stretch.

Are we reading the same thread? The bolded words above are yours, and they are exactly as Dr. Eckleburg quoted them.

Be that as it may, when you said that inquisition is purely an internal Catholic matter and not really the business of any non-Catholic were you refering to just the Spanish Inquisiiton or not?

Cordially,
