Torture in the Inquisition

[GottmitunsAlex]

Furthermore, in painting the hyperbolic image of my cousin or sister burning in agony before me, you haven't considered the alternatives. Maybe just economic coercion would work: punish heretics with a monetary penalty or tax (what's the difference?). Perhaps a bit of jail time would be fine. If, somehow, I ended up with a bunch of non-Catholic friends and relatives in the middle of a staunchly Catholic society, I'd probably be okay with their being taxed higher, or with one of them's having to serve a year or two.

Reminds me of Spain When Francisco Franco was in charge.

I like it.
