In Toronto I attended a public lecture at the Oratory about the history of the Inquisition. It was an enlightenment for me, whose history lessons concentrated on the history of the UK (with an Anglican bias, at that) to hear a well-delivered, clearly well-researched delivery of this that neither put a glossy, rosy glaze on it nor painted the Church as the monster that popular opinion would have us believe.

Something needs to be done about history education where I came from.
