"therefore the hand of god

thy sentence with his finger

hath written, and this tribunal

consigneth it now straightaway

unto the secular arm."

       

it actually happened, the spanish took over what was basically a protestant country and you can imagine what happened

the inquisition was a front for property theft, rather like the nazis and jews

to be handed over to the secular arm was to be tortured and killed and very very gruesome if you have ever seen some of the devices used extremely sadistic and unpleasantly sexually differentiated in tortures
