[edit] Notes

Can someone explain the cross symbol in a footnote? I would, but for ignorance.

The article says that Bartholomew Legate was burned by Church of England, but the article on Legate says he was turned over to civil authorities and burned by them.--198.93.113.49 19:31, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

Now it is repaired. No Church ever burned anybody, it was always a secular arm. -- Vít Zvánovec 09:40, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Religion of executioners

It would probably be better to not name the religion of the executioners after each listed victim. If it's completely necessary to know that, then have separate lists under different headings, one for each denomination. I'm going to go ahead and do that now. Tix 20:30, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

OK. -- Vít Zvánovec 09:40, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

I've looked into it more, and it has become clear that this "article" was written to malign Christianity. Just look at the external link which I deleted: it went to an article written by some Catholic priest turned atheist about how much his old Church sucks. Also, there was an internal link to Unitarianism which I deleted. The only reason I can imagine for this link being here is because someone wants to suggest Unitarianism as a much better alternative to all these Christian demonizations...sorry, denominations.

This external link was deleted twice, I won't return it anymore. But it was very useful: It is a comprehensive list of victims of the Church, not just of burned people.

Unitarians were common victims, that's why I've thought it was useful to link that article. Your speculation is not underlayed. -- Vít Zvánovec 09:40, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
