These are the true ways to combat abortions . More prolifers need to start attacking the issues that contribute to abortions instead of attacking the women who have them . I sincerely hope that progress is made towards these goals in our country and community and I hope you and those you think like you start to become the majority . <| sep |> They say it makes money for the school but go actually look at the numbers , it doesn ' t . <| sep |> g 502 , corsair m 65 <| sep |> I agree , she would . <| sep |> You did what ? <| sep |> Can someone call esportshop . hu and ask if they are still active and if they ship to greece ?

This was just not true in the 1400 s and early 1500 s . Church law required that a witch who confessed said what the inquisitors wanted be spared from death the first time . If she was arrested again , she was burned as a relapsed heretic . This became a common pattern once accused and tried , a witch was likely to be suspected and denounced again . In practice , a second arrest was not necessary for a burning if the witch retracted a confession obtained under torture , she could be treated as relapsed . The fiction that the Church abhors blood required that those convicted by the Inquisition be turned over to the secular arm for execution . Its charade of recommending mercy was sometimes exposed when civil authorities balked at carrying out the execution , as when the mayor of Brescia refused to burn witches condemned by inquisitors in 1486 , or in 1521 , when the Venetian government blocked the burning of more witches . The pope became furious that the expected death sentences were not carried out . H . C . Lea ' s centuryold account of these events is still well worth reading . Even in the 1600 s , it is inaccurate to say witches were pardoned . Exile was a common penalty in both Italy and Spain and especially dangerous for women . The Spanish also flogged witches with 30 or 100 or 200 lashes the latter penalty being common and sentenced them to jails and workhouses . Cirac Estopaan , 23046 Other penalties subjected the witches to a public spectacle of humiliation and injury they were forced to ride backwards on an ass , naked to the waist , wearing mitres painted with devils while the mob swarmed around , shouting insults and throwing stones and filth at them . What ' s more , the Spanish Inquisition increased its witch trials though not burnings from 16151700 , and Portugal from 17001760 . Bethancourt , MSE , 1867 Both Iberian Inquisitions were actively repressing pagan Indian and African religions in Latin America during the same period , using the same diabolist models as in Europe .

Romeo ? Even after this , torture remained a factor , though more restricted , and death in prison a possible outcome . RELIABILITY OF TRIAL RECORDSJenny Gibbons asserts that the trial sources come from people who knew what actually happened and who had less reason to lie . I find this disingenous . These records were produced by judges who presided over torture trials , attempting to extract from accused witches confessions in line with diabolist doctrine . Their hunts were based on lies that witches had sex with devils , murdered and ate babies , made powders to cause disease or hail . The defendant had to lie to stop the torture , then repeat the lies at the stake , or assent to the lies being read out in order to receive the favor of being strangled before burning . The assumption that trial records addressed the full range of trials . is seriously flawed . In country after country , specialists note that trial records only began to be kept after a certain time before that , there is little or nothing . Even afterwards , the archives are notoriously riddled with lacunae . Records for entire cities , counties or regions are often missing . Gibbons rightly praises Ewen ' s scholarship , but overlooks his point that judicial records only begin to be sent to the royal archives in the 1330 s , and much later or never for many counties . Even for the 1400 s , wrote Ewen , the Public Record Office contains few records of assizes , and many later judicial documents were destroyed For the reign of Henry VIII practically nothing has been preserved . and for Elizabeth the bulk has been destroyed . Ewen , 40 , 1029 , 71 This pattern repeats itself in studies of most countries , with no records available until early modern times 1576 in Denmark the 1590 s in Norway the 1630 s for Latvia and even these are thin and incomplete . For Hungary , Gabor Klaniczay notes that The loss of complete series of court records is especially frequent for the period before 1690 . He concludes that lynchings were a frequent occurence during the Turkish occupation . EMod , 221 In Savoy , BrocardPlaut observes that that out of 800 trials cited by two judges of the period 1560 to 1674 , only 40 % appear on record . She states that many documents have been destroyed not least because of the Savoyard practice of hanging the court record around the victim ' s neck before burning . Brocard , 153 In the Swiss Jura , judicial records are missing but burnings are visible in fiscal accountings for loads of wood , tar and executioners ' fees . Monter writes that . even when the records seem to be in fairly good condition , as for 17 th century Valangin , the chance discovery of a parallel source can double the number of known trials for a particular decade . He adds that the gaps in the prison registers often occur in years known to have experienced extremely heavy waves of trials throughout the canton . Monter , 91
