Sorry to "muck-up" your (and other Goans') knowledge on Goa's Inquisition. I expected that you would step to the plate questioning my "research" without you doing any of your own.:=)) Instead you rely on some fictional novels and web-articles. Contrary to your statement, Alfred DeMello's web-article has no references. Neither did he mention the source of his information or his facts. But of course you believe him, because that fits your liking / bias. As far as scientific research in general is concerned, it is very likely I have been published in more peer-reviewed medical journals than you my friend. And I have participated in designing more national and international randomized clinical trials in cancer that you will ever dream. So do not tell me about your knowledge of research and its methodology. Poile svater, you state that my write-up does not contradict Alfred DeMello. (see your quote below). Magir, you contradict yourself with "Gilbert is revising what is known about de Orta". (see your quote below). So with such inconsistencies ani ghuspot in your observation and conclusions, I will not comment on your conclusions or opinions.:=)) You and others had no data on Goa's Inquisition when I requested such data from you and them. Of course that did not and does not prevent you from expressing your considerate opinion on the subject. The article I wrote was about Dr. Garcia de Orta and not on his sister. Please do not take this response personally. Finally if you want to know more about the social life in Europe during the European inquisition, I suggest you read among others a book on the period and life of Girolamo Savonarola - the Florentine Friar who was burned in the Piazza della Signora. There is more to read than cyber-Goa. :=)) Kind Regards, GL Santosh: I don't see any real historical facts in Gilbert's account that are at variance with those of Alfredo, and no substantiation whatsoever in it. My view is research is best left to qualified researchers. People who are not schooled and trained in it should not attempt to masquerade as experts, and dispense their opinions willy-nilly. They end up mucking up the state of understanding in any field i.e. if unsuspecting lay folk take them seriously. In the present case I submit that Gilbert is revising what is known about de Orta, and also what is known about the inquisition. Please note that Gilbert did not tell us that de Orta's sister was burned at the stake, and gave us his own speculative reasons for the disinterment and burning of his bones several years after his death.
