I looked up Spanish Inquisition at wikipedia and I found lots of disgusting stuff including the quote below. The idea is people who didn't suck up to the pope deserved to be burned alive. The Catholic Church has a long history of violence not to mention extreme stupidity.

"The most serious punishment was relaxation to the secular arm for burning at the stake. This penalty was frequently applied to impenitent heretics and those who had relapsed. Execution was public. If the condemned repented, they were shown mercy by being garroted before burning; if not, they were burned alive."

Also interesting is "The Dark Side of Christian History" by Helen Ellerbe.

When I was a kid several decades ago I was a brainwashed Catholic. When I grew up I realized my professional brainwashers (ugly nuns) were totally insane and I threw the Catholic death cult in garbage.
