It's an article from the <i>Angelus</i>, journal of the Society of St. Pius X, titled <a href="http://www.sspx.org/against_sound_bites/defense_of_the_inquisition.htm" rel="nofollow">Defense of the Inquisition</a>.<br /><br />What's fascinating about this article is that it isn't what you think it is -- if you're expecting a modern historical reexamination, showing that the Inquisition wasn't what we thought it was, you're going to be mistaken. This is a modern historical reexamination showing that the Inquisition was <i>exactly</i> what you thought it was, and a detailed argument that this is a good thing, and ought to be reinstituted.<br /><br />I wasn't expecting that.
