It killed about 2 people a year and was more lenient and less prone to superstition than the secular courts, so yes, protestant bs.

No it was totally great those protestants are just making stuff up. People enjoyed the inquisition.

My ancestors preserved documents of the names & punishments of my ancestors who were killed for heresy before we said fuck it and left for America. Let me tell you, yes it was that bad.

only because your ancestors did not comply to the doctrine in place at the time. Your ancestors haave nothing to be proud of.

>>6491472
It killed about 1600 people in 400 years for various reasons and the secular judicial system only wished to be as efficient and based as the inquisition.

>>6492489

Your family has documents from the middle ages? Impressive.

Give me some time to get off work and get to them ill make a thread if this ones gone. But no its not the originals they were burned at some point but copies were made from memory on some late 1800s typewriter

I know next to nothing but the popular stuff about the Inquisition.

Yep, all religious persecution is shit. The protestants did their fair share of it as well, and there several Catholic Inquisitions besides the Spanish one.

>you will never be an inquisitor in the fifteenth century
>you will never hold close the secret rituals and doctrines of the holy church
>you will never battle demons, ghosts, witches or heretics in the name of almighty god
>you will never force nubile peasant girls to submit to your 'close examinations'
>you will never wield the sword of the god, the holy symbols or the words of fortitude in the face of an implacable enemy, fully assured that everything you do is morally correct
why even live in this fucking cuck century?

What does that mean? Does this retard know what a comma is for?

>>6492604
I would much appreciate it. History is my orgasm trigger.

>García Cárcel estimates that the total number processed by the Inquisition throughout its history was approximately 150,000; applying the percentages of executions that appeared in the trials of 1560–1700—about 2%—the approximate total would be about 3,000 put to death.

Oyyyy veeeyyyyy it's annudah shoah

Yes, it was, and it wasn't a meme, unlike Catholics want to believe. The Catholic Church themselves documented it

So killing millions is horrible, but killing thousands is totally okay?

>>6493546
They were a court. Of justice. So in fact it was ok, by any standard if you think that death penalty is reasonable in some cases.

>>6493274
Just play warhammer m8

>>6493561

>They were a court. Of justice.

And Roland Freisler was a court judge, that doesn't make him correct

>>6493546
Oh no it is certainly bad.

However 3000 people vs 3,000,000 is basically medieval court of justice vs Plague/Genocide. There is a marked difference.

>>6493546
Nice strawman, I didn't say it was okay. I say it was relatively tame, and that it has been overblown by historians.

In 1937, 85 000 priests were shot on the orders of Stalin in the name of atheism, yet you don't hear much about it.

>>6493587
And perhaps a more relevant example : more priests were killed by the Catalonian revolutionaries than people were killed by the inquisition.

>>6493576
Sure. But they were for the time the most advanced court with the least horrible penalites. They were an example to be followed at the time.

>>6493587
>in the name of atheism
>Nice strawman

>>6493607
Oh, so the USSR's anti-religious campaigns were not done to propagate atheism?

>>6493617

No, something tells me Marxist Russia mostly got their ideas from Marxist theory

Also, I love how you instantly changed the subject from the Red Terror in Spain to Soviet Russia. Really shows how intellectually honest papists are

1303 people over 400 years according to wiki.

That is 3 people a year. The US death sentence is just as bad.

>>6493626
>No, something tells me Marxist Russia mostly got their ideas from Marxist theory
Really? And marxist theory does not advocate in any way for atheism? It totally wasn't Marx who coined the phrase "opiate of the people".

>Also, I love how you instantly changed the subject from the Red Terror in Spain to Soviet Russia. Really shows how intellectually honest papists are
I changed the subject to Soviet Russia because the post to which you answered dealt with Soviet Russia, genius.

Had you answered the post about the Red Terror in Catalonia, I would have adressed the Red Terror in Catalonia.

You see, it boils down to this : I will respond accordingly to the post you quoted. I cannot guess your intentions, as I lack telepathic powers.

>>6493626
>Soviet had no influence in the Spanish Civil War

>>6491537
good job, you managed to replace the comma
also i like your arguments

>>6493646
>And marxist theory does not advocate in any way for atheism?

No, it mostly advocates Marxism. Christianity usually picked the side that opposed Marxism (in your case the nationalists, pic very related), so, being advocates of a dictatorship of the people, they usually killed them. Their hatred was mostly motivated by power. If you think it wasn't, then please tell me who reopened the Moscow Theological Seminar in 1945

I wonder, maybe in a few years everyone here will be a muslim contrarian.
