I was in a discussion with an individual who had just taken a Roman Catholic Church History class. They stated the Church never harmed anyone because of the Inquisition. The Church merely turned the heretics over to the civil government who did the deed.
Was that statement correct?
I feel that no matter what the Church was responsible for a terrible time in history.
I felt that spin on the story is like saying Hitler is not responsible for the holocaust because he did not personally put the gas into the execution chamber at Aushwitz.
