I wasn't at all trying to condemn the Spanish Inquisition. I defend whenever I see it attacked. It was just an interesting observation.

As for the other stuff, I wouldn't bring up the papacy during the Spanish Inquisition as the reigning pope was the notorious Alexander VI whose bastard son was inspiration for "The Prince."

King Ferdinand, though imperfect, was no tool. The Inquisition was necessary and Ferdinand and Isabel had nothing but good intentions concerning it. Even after gaining permission to run it they delayed it two years in hopes the threat would be enough and that maybe the conversos would stop in the meantime.

"We're from Jersey. Not New Jersey, just Jersey.  We curse a lot. We say "yo" and we say it often. We sure as hell don't pump our own gas. We know what real pizza tastes like and we know that a bagel is much more than a roll wit a hole in the middle. We judge people by what exit they are off the parkway or by what mall they live closest to. We drive SUVs and we tailgate any chance we get.  All good nights must end in a diner, preferably with cheese fries. It's a sub, not a hoagie or a hero. and I wash it down with soda, not pop.  I have a dawg, and I drink cawfee.  ..and New York City, is "the city." We know 65 mph means 80 mph."-Anon

Foolish then, is he who departs from the Vicar of Christ Crucified, who has the keys of the Blood, or who goes against him . . . Even though the pope were satan incarnate himself, I may not lift up my head against him, but I must always humble myself, and beg for the Blood as a mercy, for in no other wise can I obtain a part of it -St. Catherine of Sienna.


If desire has equal power with actual Baptism, you would then be satisfied to desire Glory, as though that longing itself were Glory!-St. Gregory Nazianzen.
