The Inquisition

• Messages sorted by: [ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ]

Hi everyone,

  Well, I am new to the list and seeing how things seem to be running
slowly at the moment thought I would send this snippet of an article I
came across recently to see if any Catholics on this list could maybe
justify why there maybe no need for the Pope to apologise for the
Inquisitons.  

  I will already mention now that yes, this is only a small part of a
larger article, but to access the full version you need to pay, and as I
don't possess a credit card and my computer doesn't have a coin slot
installed yet, I unfortunately was unable to read the whole thing.  

  NO ONE EXPECTS THE SPANISH INQUISITION: The Inquisitions shouldn't
  necessarily be condemned, argues Roman Catholic theologian Georges
  Cottier. Rather, its historical context should be reviewed before
  saying "that such and such an act should not have been committed," he
  said. Cottier will chair a symposium at the Vatican this fall to
  examine the Roman, Spanish and Middle Age Inquisitions in order to
  provide the Pope "with enough information to see if there is a need to
  apologize" for such acts as torture or the burning of Protestants at
  the stake. (AFP)

(with introduction by Charlton Heston), explains the holy writings of a
certain female talk show pop-psychologist, but insists that, like it or
not, mankind will yield to the eventual domination of world.
