Inquisition or justice by another name! Response: Thanks Dr. Santosh Helekar for asking for my specific opinion. The author of the web-article is making Dr. Dellon appear the victim of petty jealousies and of Goa's Inquisition and the usual "Heresy and Blasphemy" charge. In my analysis, Dr. Dillon may be the villain and the true scoundrel. Dr Dellon was a doctor and in all likelihood the physician of the woman over whom he admits having an amorous (more than a platonic) interest. He is at minimum guilty of very poor political and medical judgment. In all likelihood he is also guilty of medical misconduct. In today's practice of medicine in the USA and Britain, he would loose his medical license if he was involved in any 'monkey business' with the lady. Should we call it Inquisition or a variation like multi-million dollar law-suit with a third going to the lawyers?
From: "Santosh Helekar" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Let me try to understand what Gilbert is saying here. He appears to be saying that the real history behind the inquisition is something entirely different. The inquisition was not what people thought it was. It was merely a system of justice to prosecute people who had actually committed all sorts of crimes, and who would have been prosecuted today anyhow. In Dellon's case it could have been adultery on his part or petty jealousy on the Governor's part. Am I correct in this assessment? ########################################################################## # Send submissions for Goanet to [EMAIL PROTECTED] # # PLEASE remember to stay on-topic (related to Goa), and avoid top-posts # # More details on Goanet at http://joingoanet.shorturl.com/ # # Please keep your discussion/tone polite, to reflect respect to others # ##########################################################################
