The road to the modern age of cultural harmony and acceptance is one of the finest feats of human progress, but having said that, there was once a time when the mere doubt of a religious figure's existence was not only punishable by law, it could very well cost a man his life.

La paranoia y las recriminaciones desatadas por las inquisiciones religiosas son extraordinarias. Este libro explora la Inquisición en profundidad, sin dejar piedra sin remover para encontrar la raíz de lo que impulsó estas persecuciones religiosas. La mayoría de la gente conoce la Inquisición española, pero hubo otras inquisiciones, como las llevadas a cabo por los romanos y los portugueses. ¿Qué fue lo que motivó a estos fervientes fanáticos religiosos a aplastar todas las opiniones contrarias de su entorno?

During the Spanish inquisition, being called a heretic, a witch, or a sinner meant business. It could mean the end of your life. And so, it is with a tragic view on the past that we see countless innocent victims being accused of something they never did, with no bad intentions or rebellious behavior, and nonetheless being executed in brutal manners.

Este era el crimen de herejía.
