How many reputable books on the inquisition have you EVER read?
LOL, are you trying to pass yourself off as some kind of intellectual? Even reading none is still more than having read Kamen the revisionist.

You blew your credibility to smithereens by saying "all modern research and scholarship on the inquisition is revisionist" while taking it to be the most valid at the same time. This isn't the place for your kind of radicalism, with all due respect. It's enough for Constantine to accuse Jesus Himself of committing "pernicious errors", never mind Canon 29 of the Synod of Laodicea calling Jesus "anathema" from Himself. Have a nice day . . .

So, in other words, you have never read a single reputable book on the inquisition? That would explain your apparent (and amazing) lack of knowledge about it. That won’t stop you from posting apparently baseless assertions and opinions, however, now will it?

“You blew your credibility to smithereens by saying “all modern research and scholarship on the inquisition is revisionist” while taking it to be the most valid at the same time.”

Sorry, but it is a fact that all modern research and scholarship on the inquisition is revisionist. There are no two ways around it. Since almost all previous scholarship has been demonstrated to have been done without significant reference to actual sources or with gross misinterpretations, there is no other possibility. If you don’t believe me then ask any historian of the inquisition this question: “Considering the huge developments in the research and scholarship about the inquisition in the last half century isn’t safe to say that all modern research - if accurate and based on actual primary resources - is by necessity revisionist compared to standard works of the 19th century such as Llorente and Lea?”

“This isn’t the place for your kind of radicalism, with all due respect.”

Gee, how about the BBC? http://www.catholiceducation.org/articles/history/world/wh0008.html

“It’s enough for Constantine to accuse Jesus Himself of committing “pernicious errors”, never mind Canon 29 of the Synod of Laodicea calling Jesus “anathema” from Himself.”

Throw in the kitchen sink while you’re at it since you can’t apparently debate anything about the inquisition.

“Have a nice day . . .”

I will. When you read a reputable book on the inquisition, let me know. I’ll probably be waiting a long time.
