pjthompsonRandom quote of the day:
"[If a man believes a heresy], the Inquisition...condemns him to be burnt, because the Orthodox creed must be defended, but the door is left open; they say that the heretic may be right, but that if he wants to adhere to his personal truth, he must accept being burnt for it. They do not claim that he has lost his soul for God may accept him in Paradise, but it is his fate also to be burnt."
