The Spanish Inquisition was founded in 1478. The Jesuits were founded at
the University of Paris in 1534. No, the Jesuits were not founders of the
Inquisition.
Is anybody else enjoying the irony? This thread started with discussions
of how some Christian groups misunderstand the SCA and make false
statements. We've come full circle, with SCA members misunderstanding some
Christian groups and making false statements?
I don't mean to pick on anyone in specific. We all fall into it sometimes.
Maybe when we see our own mistakes in that direction, we can be more
patient towards the people making the same kinds of mistakes about us.
