I don't usually refer to it because of its age, but it gives a good indication that even Catholics a century ago, did not make excuses for the Spanish Inquisition.

Joe perhaps the argument you and fellow catholics who think the Inquisition to be an 'atrocity' should be having is not with me but with this official view of your organised religion as expressed and sanctioned by the Vatican in this statement?

Which in my view and as explained, IS making excuses for your organised religion's part in the bad things done by the Spanish Inquisition.
