Don’t forget the tongue screws. These devices were used to prevent the condemned heretics from preaching, praising God, or singing hymns as the flames consumed them.
Oh, and don’t forget the drownings. Some Anabaptists (re-baptizers) were tied up in sacks with some heavy stones and thrown into rivers.
How nice.
All of it was foretold long ago: “And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.”
Here is a sad video for those interested. It was done by former Irish priest Richard Bennett and a British historian.
“Catholic Inquisition and Torture Tools”
“The Roman Catholic Church, under the direct orders of her popes, was the direct and immediate cause of systematized robbery, torture, and murder of millions of Bible believers, Jews, and others for 605 years. Richard Bennett and British historian Michael de Semlyen present a clear historic account of this period. Professional dramatization inserts of torture and burning at the stake are included. Actual photos of the historical torture devises are also included.”
