The truth is that Christianity was promoted through fear, torture, and death, in a series of continental inquisitions not quite true. Constantine did not adopt christianity using any of these tactics, prior to the era you speak of. and the time frame you're referring to here, is known as the dark ages for a reason. and i dont think the aim of the inquisition was to promote christianity per se, but more like an attempt to weed out dissidents. |

chukwudi 44, what makes you think that a Spanish population of ''9 million'' was incapable of destroying 100 million people over a 40 year period in the New World through warfare and disease? The population of europe was not even up to 100 million then,so eve if they killed everyone in europe they would still not be able to get this figure of 100 million. to make matters worse for you the spanish inquisition was restricted to spain which did not even have up to 10% of the figure you posted. mind you the spanish inquisition was neither instituited by the catholic church nor was it under papal control but rather under the control of the spanish government which only happened to be catholics.
Which inquisition existed in the third century/the catholic church in the 3rd century was under roman persecution and did not even have the power to carry oui the inquisition even if it wanted to. During the first three decades of the thirteenth century the Inquisition, as the institution, did not exist. But eventually Christian Europe was so endangered by heresy, and penal legislation concerning Catharism had gone so far, that the Inquisition seemed to be a political necessity. That these sects were a menace to Christian society had been long recognized by the Byzantine rulers. As early as the tenth century Empress Theodora had put to death a multitude of Paulicians, and in 1118 Emperor Alexius Comnenus treated the Bogomili with equal severity, but this did not prevent them from pouring over all Western Europe. Moreover these sects were in the highest This is from the website you posted which happens to be the catholic encyclopedia.Where i it did you read thatthe inquisition commenced in the 3rd century. |

OMG! , I swear I fear to know that shyt like that actually happened to people! It seems like things like that were practiced in europe long before christianity. It does not have anything to do with christianity although the "followers" of that religion did use these tactics. |

The number of people killed by the spanish inquisition was actually less than 6000 see the link below http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_Inquisition |

http://news.adventist.org/2010/07/lutherans-apologize.html As you can see from the link above the inquisitions were not restricted to the catholic church alone as even the protestants churches joined in the persecution of those who did not agree with their faith |

when will it be time for restitution? when will they also be restitution for the thouands of catholics killed during the protestant inquisition and even recently during the pentecostal inquisition as evidenced by the mutilation of kids in akwa ibom for withcraft by penterascal pastors |
Re: Images From The Christian Inquisition by chinedumo(m): 5:51pm On Jan 04, 2011 |

Re: Images From The Christian Inquisition by Nobody: 8:42am On Jan 05, 2011 |
i wont call those pastors that killed the kids as belonging my fold cos as u know it Pentecostals is not one Honestly if I say u re a fool that would be a compliment as you are not even qualified to be a fool. but catholic is the same do you reason with your anus? |
Re: Images From The Christian Inquisition by chinedumo(m): 3:15pm On Jan 05, 2011 |
when did u metamorphocize into different people same mary worship(going by the number of times mary is mentioned in the rosary to that of Jesus) church structure same beliefs if u are different the more reason to renounce the former not do the formers acts again and make restitution it is not only the pope that should renounce and do restitution every single catholic on the planet |

civilised chrisitanity. |
Re: Images From The Christian Inquisition by Ptolomeus(m): 7:47pm On Feb 15, 2012 |
PAGAN 9JA:Exactly! Under the guise of "CIVILIZING" the savage and "SAVE" to the heathen, did these horrible things. The same excuse was used in Africa to enslave and exterminate millions. Also in America did with the Indians , These images also hurts , It hurts the irony that with these methods is intended to "civilize" the supposedly wild , One who worships a god that does not need favors this demon , The paradox is that those who try to justify that kind of thing they accuse others of being demonic, to be condemned to hell, to worship false gods and to be uncivilized , Ahhhh , Western and Christian culture , Mudley313:Indeed. There is something worse than what we saw, is that in the XXI century there are still people who want to justify or minimize this kind of thing , I repeat: Who are the uncivilized? |
Re: Images From The Christian Inquisition by PAGAN9JA(m): 10:37pm On Feb 16, 2012 |

Organized religion is the basis of war-mongering and enslavement of the mind and body. Imagine this:

Re: Images From The Christian Inquisition by Ubenedictus(m): 10:41pm On Mar 25, 2013 |
chinedumo: Today is November the 1stluther and co had their own share of inquisitions and burning their supposed heretics on the stake. I'd say the reformers aren't innocent of the disaster. |
Re: Images From The Christian Inquisition by Ubenedictus(m): 10:43pm On Mar 25, 2013 |
chinedumo: This does not go to say that Protestants are saints eitherthey not only had a problem with catholics and jews they had a problem with themselves. Calvin burnt people who deny doctrines such as trinity. |
Re: Images From The Christian Inquisition by Ubenedictus(m): 11:03pm On Mar 25, 2013 |
chinedumo: the report on that link is highly watered downactually that wiki report seem more objective than that of rossik |
Re: Images From The Christian Inquisition by Ubenedictus(m): 11:09pm On Mar 25, 2013 |
ROSSIKE: chukwudi 44, what makes you think that a Spanish population of ''9 million'' was incapable of destroying 100 million people over a 40 year period in the New World through warfare and disease?dat link clearly say that d inquisition started in d 12 century.
