[edit] I didn't expect the Spanish Inquisition

From what I read somewhere, Molko as a relapse Christian was under the bailiwick of the Inquisition, but Reubeni as a Jew would be off-limits for the Office. --Error 00:01, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

The Inquisition had authority over Jews who were accused of "Judaizing" - i.e. proselytizing to Christians. Such people, who might only be guilty of printing Hebrew books (or in some areas, carrying them) could be tried and sentenced to burn by ecclesiastic courts eventhough not themselves Christian. Usually if they converted to Christianity they would mercifully be strangled before burning.--Briangotts (Talk) (Contrib) 04:52, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
