The persecutions of the inquisition described in Name of the Rose is against heretics, not witches.
The witch craze happened later, and was just as widespread in protestant countries.
- anthk 6y agoBasque here. I can relate to Zugarramurdi's witch hunting case, but compared to protestant countries' cases, that's nothing. I'm tired of propaganda. On the heretics, that happened across Europe... and the damn whole world. But as I said, for its age, the Inquisition was born as a grant seeking institution, not the reverse. Do you want something worse than the Inquisition? Search for the village idiocy generated mobs and trials, and you'll be "amazed" on how "kind" and "lovely" was that.

- anthk 6y agoI mean, the Inquisition sucked, but the mob/knight based "justice" was far, far worse.
