I am not following you on this. The Spanish Inquisition was an event that had a duration. The state prosecuted it a lot longer that the Catholic Church and there are documents where cities appealed to the Pope to send the Catholic Inquisitors back (or leave them there) because the State Inquisition was much harsher. This is not an excuse, just an attempt to show that the Catholic Inquisition stopped. As far as repentance, the first step for that is to acknowledge the wrong done and the next step is to apologize. Pope John Paul II did this. So I am not sure what you want the Catholic Church to do now. Please help me understand what you are seeking.I'm part Irish, a former Catholic and have never been a member of a protestant church! Bob, God Bless you but there's so much denial and strawmen in your posts.
I don't think the Catholic Church should apologise for past atrocities I think the Catholic Church should REPENT!
Cromwell doesn't excuse the inquisition, abortion doesn't excuse the inquisition. You have chosen to join an organisation and become a public apologist for it, you need to expect to receive questions about that organisations beliefs and practices. Your posts seem to show that there is no remorse for past atrocities among Catholics?
God Bless You
