Quote:If you're leaning on this argument, then what you're saying amounts to little more than a tautology. Is there 100% agreement among members of any religion?
No. I'm saying they weren't Scotsmen at all. Their motivations were political for personal gain. The Pope being a former advocate probably believed or was willing to entertain the Copernican theories, but in order to save face against the pressure of some political rivals, he had to punish what was widely seen as an affront and heresy.

The Christians didn't prosecute the Inquisition, that was done by the Vatican. I'm sure some approved, especially in the beginning when it was merely legalistic interpretation, and I'm sure many were appalled.
Quote:Except that Monarchs did not typically make pronouncements about morality for all believers in the Christian faith...
Oh, yes they did. Conversion by decree was quite common. For example, the Alhambra Decree, and the many Byzantine conversion decrees. Also, consider King Phillip Augustus complicity in the massacre of the Cathars. Or, Elizabethan Recusants and the Recusancy Laws.

”There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, Than are dreamt of in your philosophy." - Hamlet (1.5.167-8), Hamlet to Horatio.
