>>10310617Yes, it happened - but in the case of the Papal sponsored efforts it was more humane than the secular equivalent, most cases were in favor in the person judged by the Catholics.
Even so - there's a death count, it might be 10k - 30k people over that period.
The bulk of those go with the Spanish effort, which was pretty much independent and by the desire of a king with all power.
This is sad, I have no historical connections with Catholicism ... but I acknowledge that in the name of Christ they did some horrible things.
Still better than the 90 million dead people - killed in the name of materialistic ideologies.
