A good essay. It's pretty much what I remember reading in Rodney Stark's chapter on the witchhunts in his book, For the Glory of God a few years ago. However, I still can't pursuade any of my feminist/pagan friends to take a different look at the evidence. They remain convinced the Inquisition was the first Holocaust.

Could you provide the link to the original blog? I think I'd like to ask this woman if I could re-post her article, too.


[BTW, you seem to have an HTML mark-up error. I think the end-tag on the link to the Wiki article is missing.]
