Primus Pilus Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 A new exhibition gives the public a first glimpse of centuries-old Vatican documents about the Inquisition, including a 400-year-old order detailing how to crack down on heresy. The curiosities allow fascinating insights into how the Vatican once systematically tried to gain control over many aspects of life that had nothing to do with faith. If you are inquisitive about the Inquisition, however, the show at Rome's Central Risorgimento Museum will leave leave you wanting more, since there are no heresy trial transcripts or descriptions of torture methods on display...
