Inquisition ?

James,

What exactly is inquisition ?
All has yo been seen in its historic context.

50 years and even until 20 years ago, in Flanders, you couldn't get an appointment as a teacher in the catholic schools (some 85 % of the whole school-system) or as a doctor or a nurse in the hospitals (some 95 % of all the hospitals) when you didn't follow most of your studies in a catholic school or university. Even today, catholic religion is been teached in the catholic high schools.

50 years ago, women who took on the teaching business, weren't allowed to marry. If they did, they had to resign.

My father was a butcher, owing a good shop where he gave me and my sister the opportunity to go to the university - if he wouldn't have gone to church, he wouldn't have be allowed to make a goodliving because the church decided passively on he wellness and richness of the common people.

Did the Flemish people revolt against that system - the answer is negative.
But on the long run the church lost - only a mere 5 % of the population goes still to church and only half of the population is still believing, whereas they don't have practically any more young priests.

And the pope - well, most of the population doesn't follow his rules.
And if they follow still catholic rules - they do it mostly because it can give some financial gains.

In some sort, these actions can also be seen as inquisition.

best regards

Marc
