Jesus cast demons out. He never tortured those already tortured by them.
Looks like the only ones possessed buy demons are those who implemented the Inquisition.
The excuse of *that was the practice of the day* falls flat.
If the RCC had adhered to the actual teachings of Scripture, it would neither have been the practice of the day, nor would the church have condoned it and participated in it even if it were.
They are responsible for the demonic, barbaric treatment of all those souls.
The Inquisition and Catholic church's role in it are too well documented for the RCC to dissociate itself from it.
Catholics and the church would be far better off owning it and repenting and apologizing for it than continuing to deny or excuse it.
