so then are you supporting that in order to get a confession of [heresy]?

The Holy Inquisition was an ecclesial court that investigated heresy and publicly excommunicated the guilty using the best methods available and thought proper at the time in cooperation with the civil authority. I support American Inquisition, that would utilize modern techniques and cooperate with the civil authority of the United States, in order to, foremostly, publicly excommunicate those Catholics who hold positions of power and teach contrary to the Catholic doctrines, or commit sexual abuse.

The Church, incidentally, condemned the use of torture by the US government, so that might do something good also to the US secular practices.

Well, isn't that just hypocritical of them?

Tell me, I don't recall ever hearing of the Catholic church renouncing the Inquisition. Did it ever do that?

Did it ever make restitution to the descendants of those it robbed to torture them?
