The Inquisition - E Vacandard - Bog

The Inquisition-A Critical and Historical Study of the Coercive Power of the Church is a classic inquisition history text by E. Vacandard. THERE are very few Catholic apologists who feel inclined to boast of the annals of the Inquisition. The boldest of them defend this institution against the attacks of modern liberalism, as if they distrusted the force of their own arguments. Indeed they have hardly answered the first objection of their opponents, when they instantly endeavor to prove that the Protestant and Rationalistic critics of the Inquisition have themselves been guilty of heinous crimes.
