I PM'd Mathew. I did so because of his request to inform him of certain kinds of activity.

The church has always stood up against heretics. Why would it stop?

This is a forum, not THE CHURCH! I admit there are times when someone should be banned, don't get me wrong. It is I think we should put our self in the place of others sometime. I know how I would feel if there was an entire thread about me that said: "Ban Myrna" That's all I am saying. I feel strongly your negative feelings about others should be a little more discrete.

Thanks for those who had something encouraging for my posts here on this forum. I appreciate it.

But on a practical level I don't agree with it because in many cases people were wrongfully put to death as heretics.

Interesting cleavage between the theoretical and the practical. When I see statements like this, I suspect the writer of having too much immersion in public school education (the American kind) and Mel Brooks movies.

What does "many cases" mean to you? 6 people? 10%? 90%? If so, how would you ever prove it?

I know it's kind of "montypythonish" to think these things were big charades. Not funny. Really, not funny. A very serious matter.

Do you believe in capital punishment in secular cases?

And did killing heretics fix anything, apart from giving crowds of people the chance to sin mortally by gloating over the death of one they hate?

Yes, after a while there were fewer heretics in town preaching the path to damnation. So, Maizar, you think the Holy Office engaged in unspeakable and sinful acts? And what liberal history book did you read this in?

And do you know for sure the crowds all gloated and hated. I suspect that most were praying their rosaries and repenting their own sins.

Whether he does or not, I do.

I doubt that killing heretics has resulted in one genuine conversion.
