When will we stop playing 21st century games with the intolerance of the 16th (and maybe 17th and 18th too)? Some of these guys seem to be like the ideolgical heirs of the Black Legend creators... all using it for their own purpose. Will the Portuguese now catch up with the Spaniards? While the Inquisition was terrible, perhaps the continued use of its legacy (for political purposes) is worse. --------- GL responds We "will stop playing 21st century games with the intolerance of the 16th (and may be 17th and 18th too)" when some current native Goans take the time and effort to rebut the Wikipedia article on the Inquisition in Goa. As described in my prior post on this thread, the Wiki article is a hatchet job done by the writer(s). Now these writer(s) are going to blame those who quote from the Wiki article for distorting and smearing their history writings. An excuse that is getting pretty stale. Goans are their own worst enemies! Regards, GL
