[2] Sati, the Inquisition, Slavery and unprovoked wars were/and remain abominations Frederick Noronha wrote: True. But we are not discussing all these issues here. The topic of discussion is the Inquisition, and how fairly it is being discussed, or whether it is done so with exaggerations, and biased motives. -- jc's response: I am quite happy that FN decides what the parameters of any debate should be He is invited to follow those parameters. I find it neither reasonable nor right to discuss topics in boxes - without looking at what lies beyond those boxes. Bilateral hemianopsia of thought is not something I personally find useful. It is my personal belief that a fair assessment of any topic is best achieved by looking at ALL the facts of the case, and doing a comparative analysis to ascertain reasonableness - if one can find it. There are, I submit, many facets to any story or historical event. It is worthless restricting our analysis to the 'terms of reference'. That is for politicians and their 'one man inquiries'. If we followed the 'boxed principle' we'd be here believing that the Marios went into guerra for the fugetio.....and not for the coconut oil et al. jc
