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.
