“The Spanish Inquisition focused entirely too much on recent (forced) converts to have helped in the avoidance of Schism.”

False.
1) They focused on whomever they believed needed it.
2) It is simply untrue that the Conversos were all forced to convert.
3) There was no schism is Spain.

“Remember, Protestantism started at THE TOP, not the bottom of both Spanish and French society.”

I have no idea what that is supposed to mean. The Spanish Inquisition put “Lutherans” (which was actually a catchall for those who seemed to be heretics infected with Protestantism) on trial.

“Carvajal had the power, but he made a deal on behalf of having a full array of missionaries. You might look him up in the Catholic Encyclopedia.”

Do you mean the cardinal, the religious poet, or the conquistador?

“If you recall that his Uncle refused last rights before his execution by the new governor of Peru, you get an idea of just how close Protestant ideas were to the Cardinal himself.”

Uh, no I don’t since the one has nothing to do with the other. We talked about this before and you terribly embarrassed yourself when you failed - utterly failed - to document any evidence at all that the “Uncle” was a Protestant (actually all evidence shows he was a Catholic his whole life). Remember that? Yeah, it was just as bad a disaster for you as when you claimed their were Vikings in Russia in 1700!
