Vatican: just a little torture, murder
• Catholic
Oh come on guys we didn't murder nor maim nearly as many people as you think. Why don't you quit bitching about the Inquisition? Everybody else was slaughtering and mutilating people, why complain about the Roman Catholic Church?
Torture, burning at the stake and other punishment for the faithful condemned as witches or heretics by church tribunals during the Inquisition was not as widespread as commonly believed, the Vatican said Tuesday. ...
"The recourse to torture and the death sentence weren't so frequent as it long has been believed," said Agostino Borromeo, a professor at Rome's Sapienza University.
