We shouldn’t forget one happy ending to the story - September 20 1870 when the Italian army entered Rome and, after an overwhelming majority in a plebiscite there voted in favor, annexed the territory of the Papal States to the Kingdom of Italy.
A happier ending had already occurred, it was around 70 a.d.
 
You’re right, it wasn’t so happy for the Jews.
Jews weren’t the only ones overjoyed at the fall of the Papal States, by far the largest number voting in the plebiscite were Catholics and where were the protests amongst Catholics worldwide?

I’m not particularly knowledgeable of this area of Catholic history. I do know that 3 parishes around me have memorials dedicated to those warriors who fought on behalf of the Papal states. The lists are quite large, especially if you take into account that this was 1860s Quebec.

In any case, it really doesn’t matter where the support was. Europe had already been ruined by enlightenment thinking, the fall of the papal states was inevitable at this point.

Now that is amazing, the Italians march in in September 1870 and the dead are already on memorials in Quebec in the 1860s.

Wow!
 
Now you’re just deliberately twisting my posts.
I’m pretty good at it.
Not good enough. Let’s have a little practice. Reread this post.

And this explains names appearing on memorials a decade in advance, how?
it doesn’t. it was addressed to your “wow” which was addressed to another completely different point.
 
Do you love every Pope? Or just the current one? You’re not a sedevacantist, are you?

And if you loved Pope John Paul II, why do you not agree with his apology on behalf of your church for abuses that took place during the Spanish Inquisition?
Look, I never said I disagree with my beloved pope John whom I loved JUST LIKE I LIKED ALL OTHERS BEFORE HIM. Give me a break, if it isn’t the holocaust your talking about, it’s the Inquisition that is beyond centuries old. It gets old after a while…
You have put words in my mouth through this whole thing and as well as trying to discredit me. I will leave you with Kanchinen so the two of you can share your “Jewish faith.” Ariverderci…

What are people supposed to be discussing on this thread ? I thought that the topic of the thread was the Spanish Inquisition?
 
Now you’re just deliberately twisting my posts.
The Italians march into Rome in 1870, you proclaim that the war dead are on memorials dating from the 1860’s, you do some foot-stamping and I’m twisting things?
Not good enough. Let’s have a little practice. Reread this post.
I didn’t need reminding that you’ve been foot-stamping “do you speak English, you silly woman?” to make up for a clerical error.
it doesn’t. it was addressed to your “wow” which was addressed to another completely different point.
My ‘wow’ had been in admiration for your wonderful use of cliché. Remarkable talent in one so young.

Your sarcasm for others here is totally not necessary. You sound very angry. And what does this have to do with the Spanish Inquisition???
 
… Give me a break, if it isn’t the holocaust your talking about, it’s the Inquisition that is beyond centuries old. It gets old after a while…
I’ll be sure to remember that, next time someone on this forum brings up the persecution of Christians that took place centuries ago…after all, Christians being fed to the lions is pretty old, too…
 
The Mortara case is horrifying. Luckily, this sort of thing would not be possible in italy today, as the position of the RCC is so weakened.

And what wonderful happened in 70AD? The destruction of the Temple? And why is that so great?

Righteous, get used to people continuing to harp on the Spanish Inquisition. It did happen centuries ago and, just like the RCC’s genocides of the Albigensians in the south of France, these events not only killed a lot of people, but denied existence to all of their descendants.

The Nazis and their many willing executioners, many of whom were Catholic, killed millions of Jews, and believe me, they won’t live that down for many centuries.

Atrocities and Holocausts have a way of hanging on.

How do you know that it would not be possible some time in the future?

It might happen again. But as it says in the Passover Haggadah, “In EVERY generation they rise up to destroy us, but the Holy One, Blessed Be He, delivers us out of their hands”.

True, Jews have been annihilated, forcibly converted to other religions, driven from our homes, BUT God always makes sure a remnant survives! Baruch Hashem (Praise His Name!)

Incidentally, in the mail late last week, I got a DVD I’d ordered from the History Channel, entitled simply, “The Inquisition” (evidently they do not recognize that there was more than one inquisition, but anyway…)

I started to watch it, but it got pretty graphic, what with the descriptions of the methods of torture. I put it aside, figuring its not a very edifying thing to be watching right before Passover, which for us Jews is called “the season of our redemption”!

Who was the leading authority for the program?

As I said, I didn’t watch it all because I got it on the eve of Passover,and the gruesome torture scenes, I felt, were not edifying for getting in the mood for the holiday (!)

You can look the DVD up to find out who the authorities were for it…or wait until I’ve had time to see the whole thing, and I’ll let you know. From what I did see so far, they interviewed some authorities but I forget who they were.

Its “The Inquisition” by the History Channel (DVD), Color, 100 mins., c 1999 A&E Network
