[Serious] Giordano Bruno

[BrianSoddingBoru4]

So, you're excusing the Church for burning Bruno.  Got it.

I have said twice now that they should not have burned him.

And you also said 'other times, other customs', which is nothing more or less than an attempted exoneration of reprehensible behavior.  The Church could have imprisoned Bruno.  They could have forbidden the publication of any of his writings on pain of excommunication (which still carried some weight). They could have banned him from Italy.  They could have banished him from Europe altogether.  But they chose to set him on fire.  And your excuse for them doing so was that Bruno was a very naughty boy.
