The inquisition, the burning of heretics, all that stuff were practices of the time, but they were not coming from doctrinal laws.

Seriously?
If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.
Sound familiar?
That line is not written anywhere in Catholic Doctrine, AFTT.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
