Legend
If you look at facts, you would see that the inquisition did not prosecute those that professed to be Jews or Muslims, rather those that claimed to be Christians, but were actually Jews and Muslims infiltrating the country in order to subvert it. Treason is a death penalty offense.No , my argument is that any sort of penalty, death, torture over one's Christian beliefs, doctrine etc is not at all Christian
and I think a lot of Christians view it that way - even many Catholics.
Well it appears about 50 million died during those ages via that "extermination".
Jan Huss, Jerome of Prague, St Bartholomew's Day Massacre, War against Bohemia over doctrine, wars against the Waldenses that the Pope recently apologized for ...
Let's look at what Catholic Digest says about it -
From:
Catholic Digest 11/1997 pg 100"This group AND Many others were Exterminated during the Peasants Wars by a Combination of civil and religious authority. Whether they were persecuted or punished depends on your point of view”from:
Inquisition ‑ Spanish, Roman & Torture | HISTORY
The Inquisition was a powerful office within the Catholic Church which rooted out and punished heresy throughout Europe and the Americas for hundreds of years.www.history.com"The Inquisition was a powerful office set up within the Catholic Church to root out and punish heresy throughout Europe and the Americas. Beginning in the 12th century and continuing for hundreds of years, the Inquisition is infamous for the severity of its tortures and its persecution of Jews and Muslims. Its worst manifestation was in Spain"
50 million? Really? What is your source for that number?
