Torquemada’s method of forcing Roman Catholicism on everybody was threatening us with the Auto-da-fé – or public burning. Archbishop Fisher’s is the ending of democracy, a far more serious threat than the deaths of 3 or 4,000 heretics.

No Is Mise your example is absolutely disgusting.
Taking advantage of a demented father like that is elder abuse as well as incest of the highest order..
That woman should have been charged and locked up in a secure mental health facility.
I can't believe you would think that situation is ok on any level....

Suse,

She didn't take advantage of a demented father but let him live out the fantasy of his reality, she shewed compassion of the highest order but, not surprisingly, you can't see that.

There is more to life than rigid adherence to the law.

In fact, because I value my life, I often break the law, sometimes on a daily basis.

Oh Dear, Is Mise,

I'm afraid that the police is already on their way to arrest you, having been immediately informed by Suseonline that you break her laws.

A safer way to convey the same idea could be:

"Every day I toss a dice, subtract one from the number that is up, then break the law that many times": nobody could then prove that you don't always get a '1'...

Torquemada's fight was against those that imperiled the State, whom he saw as Jews and Muslims and anyone else who didn't toe the line, many in our society would share his views on Muslims but not Archbishop Fisher who probably toes the official line on brotherly love towards the members of 'the religion of peace'.
The author is only trying for a cheap point in comparing Fisher to Torquemada, the later was a product of his time and was a progressive and reduced the use of torture by the Inquisition; such torture was part of many nations legal systems at the time.
Fisher is a product of modern times and is right in his concerns that future Bishops in this country could face gaol for their religious beliefs.

The author has written a paper that is below required undergraduate standards, this is exemplified by his lying attack on John Boehner whom he alleges <....supports the mass shootings in the US.>

That is really scraping the bottom of the barrel to score an anti-Catholic point.
