"So .... can a Catholic arbitrator from the Holy Office of the Inquisition order a losing party in arbitration to the stake? "

For most people no. But if you're the losing litigant, then yes, I'm sure he could.

Please clarify how a Catholic arbitrator from the Holy Office could send a party in arbitration to an auto da fe under ecclesiastical law. I'm all ears.
