But we do all these horrible things to each other and what exactly do we get from it other than more pain and misery and bloodshed? What good does war do for anyone?

[@WJFK480]

I see your point, but I don't think it's as important as some make it out to be since we already have a first amendment. To myself and others, its just another way for people who hate religion and for the government to violate our first amendment rights, we don't live in a theocracy in the U.S. Keeping the state out of the church and vice versa has it's place, but that's just common sense. The idea of separation of church and state was never anything more than an idea (not a law or a right etc.) taken out of context from some letter Jefferson wrote to some church about something anyway, it's not in the Constitution. The first Capitol Building even had a chapel in it I believe.

[@amedved1]

I live in Utah, somewhere where the local Church and State are hopelessly intertwined.

The right to assemble and freedom of speech or free media/press helps, too. I’m not a Constitutional attorney, but the combination of rights emboldens each of them. It’s not “this” right or “that” right, but ALL rights all the time. Thank God we (at least think we) are free, though theorists will differ. “Endowed by the Creator with certain unalienable rights…” could be interpreted that we “owe” the Creator… in The End Times, everything will be re-interpreted, I guarantee it! Beheadings, again: yeah, maybe not in the USA first, but in another nation that becomes prolific, and so it snowballs. How was A.H. in Germany ever able to seize control of the nation? It can happen again, so don’t become infatuated by any leader(s) however impressive they seem. Magic tricks look real, but they prey on weaknesses in our “human-ness.”

[@louisel.8360]

Thank you “absolute history” channel. I finally understand. This documentary will remain at the top of my list, and I am a documentary enthusiast. We must understand that this inquisition is not over. Of course it has changed, but it is not over. I was born in Montreal, Quebec Canada. I am a French Canadian who moved to the US at 25 years old. At the time of my birth in a hospital in Montreal my parents were forced to have me baptized in the hospital chapel prior to taking me home in order to receive a “baptismal certificate” as proof of my birth. The Catholic Church ruled over government. Most of my life, the schools are run by the church, the teachers were nuns & priests, this was public school. We had mass every single morning, we had to do confession to a priest, once a week during school. We were not allowed to have Bibles. That was a sin. I could go on and on. I received my first “government issued“ from the province of Quebec my first official birth certificate at the age of 40, once I had moved to the states. I have both documents, the proof of my birth, for 40 years, my baptismal certificate, and my birth certificate issued by the province. If you’re interested to find out how this affected everyone deeply. The fear we lift with of the nuns and priests and churches, but most importantly, the only important matter is that they made us fear God. There is a healthy, biblical fear of God, of course. That is not what I am talking about. Long story short, I never set foot in a Catholic Church ever cents. I graduated high school. During high school I didn’t need to go to church church was school. Fast forward many years, and I need to lift up my grandfather, who was an American, married my grandmother when she was a widow at 30 years old, and she moved to the US. My grandfather is the one who purchased my first Bible for me. I had the fear of God in me, I was indoctrinated opening and touching and looking at a Bible was a sin. It took many years. I must say, though, that I always believed in God, I always believed in Jesus Christ. Supernatural mystery of God. It Hass to be. Anyhow, I am a Christian now, and I do not fear the church anymore. But oh what I would give to get back the wasted years of living in the world, having only a very very private relationship with God. No one knew but me. And now I am blessed with a son-in-law, under 30 years old who is a pastor. He and two other young men started a Church which I attend and I now have a Family that is huge. So many people at home in Quebec have never forgotten what happened in school and they never trusted any churches whatsoever… that is a crime. As for me, I am free to love my God, and I am truly blessed for my only child, to have also believed in God. I am doubly blessed that she met a young man in high school, who became a pastor, and they have blessed me with four wonderful grandbabies under the age of six as I write this. I can’t myself one of the extremely lucky and blessed ones. I still have my private and personal relationship with God but more importantly, I do not need to keep it private any longer, that is not the way God wants us to live. And that is truly biblical.

[@PiXie232]

Wow.. I had no idea that was going on in Quebec. I’m so sorry you had to go through that. Doesn’t Canada pride itself on freedom of religion like the USA? Because that doesn’t sound like freedom of religious expression whatsoever. I would have never in a million years thought that would be going on in Quebec. I was aware that the Catholic Church was extremely prevalent in Quebec but not to that extent. Thank you for sharing your story:) I wish you the very best.🙏

[@baserat59]

I was born into the religion and grew up on military bases in the 60’s and 70’s. We were lucky because these military priests always had great catechism classes and we learned of a loving God. As I got older and became aware of the history of Christianity it shocked me all of the cruelty and pain so called religious leaders inflicted and taught their flocks was what God wanted. God is not the problem it’s the people that want to twist His teaching. I honor God and Jesus every day but no longer need an organized religion.

[@smilesfordays]

@@PiXie232if you really want to have your head turn… look up what Canadian Catholics did to the Northern Native American tribes… while there are still the elders who experienced it are still alive. It’s a SHAME. If there is god, the devil will always try to use the church to destroy in his name. I’m a Catholic born and raised in the NW US in the 90’s so my experience is COMPLETELY fine different, but back even when my dad was that young in the US times were different… it might shake you a bit.

IF an individual has a very strong mindset as to not let himself or herself be influenced by others having strong convictions of their own, this world would be a very nice place to live; BUT still, we are not yet up to that level.

Jesus was killed for heresy. The heretic they tied to the wood of the stake signifies jesus tied to the wood of the cross. The extreme pain the heretic suffered signifies the extreme pain Jesus suffered. The mortification of the flesh of jesus signifies the morification of the flesh of the heretic. The Pharisees signify the priests. The kings and rulers who oversee the execution signify pontius pilate and the local leaders. The trial and procession the heretic went through signify the trial and procession Jesus went through. Jesus said: "If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it." The religion of Christianity is devoted to being a heretic and then being brutally killed for it, thus imitating or mimicking Jesus. That is why it is obsessed with the concept of heresy and is devoted to bashing each other as heretics. All this is hidden in cryptic demonic ways

33 years ago I was in southern Europe with a group of friends, staying, at one point, at a place reserved for the education of would be Priests. At the time extensive renovations were being undertaken throughout most of the college, and we had a young Priest give us a tour of the buildings. During the tour we entered a library that had been un-earthed by the civil engineers. And this young priest, taking two or three volumes from the shelves, laid the books open on a table. The books were in print, but many of the paragraphs and sentences had been `scribbled out` by the work of a human hand and pen and ink. In their place and in the margins were written the opinions of the Holy Inquizitors of the OP. True story. It was amazing to see, making history come very much alive.

Then you might understand the threat to the United States posed by religious zealots in today's Republican Party. The United States Constitution tried to erect a wall between church and state. The Founding Fathers knew very well the threat posed by religious zealotry. Religious zealots, including present members of the Supreme Court are intent on tearing down the wall that has protected us from unbridled ecclesiastical power, all the time swearing fidelity to the Constitution.

The Dominican monastic order became dreaded inquisitors. Part of their ‘mission’ was to root out what they perceived as heresy. They were a mendicant order that preached everywhere the Roman Catholic dogma. Their dedication to the eradication of heresy made them a logical choice for the Roman Catholic Church when it instituted the Inquisition. Because they were extremely mobile, the Dominicans could travel everywhere. The institution of the Spanish Inquisition was ostensibly established to combat heresy. The Spanish kingdom was unified with the marriage of Ferdinand II and Isabella I, and the Inquisition served to consolidate power in the monarchy. The desire for religious unity in the Iberian Peninsula increased toward the end of the Reconquista, a series of campaigns by Christian states to recapture territory from the Moors. Anti-Semitism had grown toward Spain’s Jewish community during the reign of Henry III of Castile and Leon, and pogroms had forced many to convert to Christianity. Marranos, those who had converted from Judaism to Christianity but continued to practise their faith in secret, were increasingly considered a threat to Spanish society. Spaniards were concerned with the idea of Limpieza de Sangre (Spanish for “purity of blood),” which the presence of even baptized Jews threatened. The religious fervour of the Catholic Monarchs also led to the persecution of Muslims and Protestants. As to your query as to religious reasons or backing for the inquisition, this doesn’t really factor. Essentially the Catholic Monarchs created the Inquisition to prosecute heretics and sodomites "because the Bible says so". However, the Bible also condemns and considers heresy the sins of greed, hypocrisy, and adultery, but the Inquisition was not in charge of prosecuting any of those things. It also did not prosecute those who did not go to Mass on Sunday or otherwise broke the Catholic rituals as far as it was out of simple laziness. Like most persecutions or programs made on religious grounds, consistent biblical justification is hard to find, usually, the political motivations are at the forefront. Man needs no justification to commit evil. In today's world the inquisition still is happening in the form of religious ferver and political gain. It is now not only Catholics but also from the baptist and evangelist. Wars to control Muslim lands for oil to control over politics that control minorities and sexual identity. The burning at the stake takes on a different form of ridding others of heresy now its oppression.

Where do I get this from from the very Inquisition manuals it self! It's funny how this documentary left that part out! The death penalty was the very last resort. The Inquisition, for the most part, didn't really kill that many people relatively speaking, especially when talking about other points of history. More people died in one month under the formation of democracy under the French Revolution than the entire Inquisition, yet we like democracy today. If anybody actually knew what most of the Cathars stand for and who most were, most of you beep pretty disgusted on who they were. You'll find out in original historical records that most people in the population supported the Inquisition they were not afraid of it. Matter fact, they are so not afraid of it. criminals would rather get judged by the inquisition errors than they did with the secular courts because they are way less likely to get sentenced to death by the religious court than you would with the secular Court.

why did the inquisition prohibit the translation into a spoken language in 1555??? this issue was settled back in 9 century. The mission of Constantine and Methodius had great success among Slavs in part because they used the people's native language rather than Latin or Greek. In Great Moravia, Constantine and Methodius also encountered missionaries from East Francia, representing the western or Latin branch of the Church, and more particularly representing the Carolingian Empire as founded by Charlemagne, and committed to linguistic, and cultural uniformity. They insisted on the use of the Latin liturgy, and they regarded Moravia and the Slavic peoples as part of their rightful mission field.

There's absolutely NO justification for the cruelty of the Catholic church. The example for all true believers of the Christian faith is Jesus Christ. Anyone who reads His story will immediately realize that Jesus spread the message/gospel with compassion, forgiveness and love. He came to seek and to save NOT to seek and destroy. When you read the Bible, you find that the punishment for those who choose to reject Christ is the damning of their own souls to eternal separation from Him. It's not an earthly punishment put upon one person by another. It's an eternal spiritual consequence that one puts upon oneself by CHOOSING to reject the salvation of Christ. In other words, there's NO relation whatsoever between the behavior of the Catholic church and the example given by Jesus Christ and documented in the Bible.
