The video opens with remarks about how the Catholic Church were oppressing Jews in the first half of the 20th Century.

Per protocol.

Napoleon might have ended the Inquisition. But after bringing order to revolutionary France (a very good thing), he started a reign of terror of his own.

End result? There are French bones scattered from Portugal to Egypt to Moscow. Napoleon was a butcher. It amazes me that so many people admire him.

Ok, he wasn’t an angel, but how many major world leaders have a MATHEMATICAL THEOREM to their name?

This was addressed in “The Pit and the Pendulum” by Poe.

The Spanish Inquisition and the Roman Inquisition weren’t the same thing. That the authors of this piece don’t seem to understand that tells me it’s not “Real History”.

The Inquisition (What a show!)
The Inquisition (Here we go!)
We know you’re wishing that we go away
But the Inquisition’s here and it’s here to stay

[Dr. Franklin]

NOBODY EXPECTS THE SPANISH INQUISITION!

Any state based on a single religion or belief is a terror for the citizens that live in that state under that terror. Look at how the Gai worship in the West called “climate change” has caused untold suffering in America. Philosophies and ideas are like viruses and these “mind viruses” can be beneficial or cause the death of the host.

Any philosophy or belief, taken to it its extremes, will cause untold horror and death for humanity

[vladimir998]

The author is a twit. The Spanish queen regent María Cristina de Borbón issued a decree abolishing the Spanish Inquisition on July 15, 1834. Napoleon was already dead for 13 years at that point.

“Any state based on a single religion or belief is a terror for the citizens that live in that state under that terror.”

Israel?

In the early years of the 16th century to combat the rising tide of religious unorthodoxy, the Pope gave Cardinal Ximenez of Spain leave to move without let or hindrance throughout the land, in a reign of violence, terror and torture that makes a smashing film. This was the Spanish Inquisition...bring on the soft cushions and.....the comfy chair!

Jews helped the Muslims conquer and subjugate the Spanish for hundreds of years. (Many Jews still consider Muslims their traditional allies) After the Spanish won their freedom back they offered amnesty to their oppressors with the conditions that they convert to Christianity and swear allegiance to the crown. The Spanish Inquisition was created for those people who claimed to have converted but were lying. According to some Oxford historians it was a model of justice in that time period. ( I was visiting Cambridge at the time so I don't have a link to their paper.)
Most of what passes for history of those events seems to be just old fashioned anti-Christian propaganda.

[Romulus]

Poe was a well-known ecclesiastical historian.

[Fiji Hill]

Little general, Napoleon of France
Tried to conquer the world but lost his pants.
Met defeat, known as Bonaparte's Retreat,
And that's how Napoleon met his Waterloo.

[Romulus]

The Catholic Church is modernity’s favorite punching bag.

[wildcard_redneck]

Israel allows full rights for all its citizens. Thanks for playing antisemitic clod.

[TexasFreeper2009]

Everyone always forgets that the inquisition was a RESPONSE to 500 YEARS of Muslim occupation of Spain!

The inquisition was what was necessary to rid Europe of the Muslims invaders. After 500 years of being oppressed by Muslims, the Spanish had learned for the best butchers in history what is necessary to win.
