Agreed. That is why (they don't concern themselves). And I also
believe that the Inquisition is not bad at all. It brought peace and
conformity in the Christian world which on one side if you look at
it now (it is different when you were there then). I seem to
remember that the Roman Catholic Church issued an apology about this
decades ago. I still consider myself Catholic. I was raised into
such school. My children are growing up as Catholics. I am
surrounded by Catholics. Because Catholics today are different than
Catholics then. But of course even in any group today there are
tendencies to sway.

Even the post-medieval Inquisition,

That is unfair. You (I thnk one of the moderators) answered my post
and then you say the magic phrase "this has nothing that I can see
to do with Indo-European studies".
When and where did the Inquisition happened?
OK, sorry then and please (maybe) ask Piotr to include this topic as
one of those for banning. Anyway, we all seem to love the Inquisition
at any rate.
