Vatican Report Says the Inquisition Wasn’t so Bad After
All.
From FBIS News & WAY OF LIFE LITERATURE.
Professor Agostino Borromeo, historian of Catholicism
at the Sapienza University in Rome, says the Inquisition wasn't as bad as it has
been made out to be. He is the editor of a 783-page report issued by the Vatican
which claims, for example, that only 1% of the 125,000 people tried by church
courts as suspected heretics in Spain were executed ("Historians say Inquisition
wasn't that bad," The Guardian, London, June 16, 2004).
Catholic Cardinal Georges Cottier agrees with the
report's findings and says Rome shouldn't "ask for pardon for deeds which aren't
there."
In fact, it has been estimated by careful and
reputable historians that 50 million people were slaughtered for the crime of
"heresy" by Roman persecutors between the AD 606 and the middle of the 19th
century. This is the number cited by historian John Dowling, who published the
classic "History of Romanism" in 1847 (book VIII, chapter 1, footnote 1).
