w AND THE HOLY INQUISITION
Bushlet is right up there with the greats, isn’t he? Last people to openly torture people were the Christian popes of the Holy Inquisition. Johann Meyer was a physician who criticized the Church for torturing women. He said you couldn’t believe them when they said they were witches, ‘cause they were tortured until they said they were witches. Now what would His Holiness Bushlet have done to Meyer? Punished him, of course -- for daring to criticize divinity. Which is exactly what the Holy Christian popes did to Meyer…. (from Barbara Walker’s Women’s Encyclopedia 1983 p. 386)
