Pope John Paul II's Letter of (non-)Apology for the Inquisition

[edit]

It's a very controversial case, probably a somewhat sensible subject to some audience, but it's actually a pacified academic discussion. You can find the official letter on the Catholic Church website, she does not claim that it is an apology (don't forget that the Church is God's Will on Earth, it's impossible to be wrong). It's very clear in the Letter, it even claims that they saved more souls and provided more "fair" judgements than the bloody-thirsty Protestant Inquisition, basically saying they did more good than bad, a real non-apology example. I'm sure there's something in theology talking about it, but I can't remember any author. It's still not known why most people believes that the Church apologized for the Inquisition Big Butt Princess (talk) 08:17, 3 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Another type of apology

What’s it called when someone at first appears to apologize sincerely but tacks on at the end that the wrongdoing was out of the speaker’s control. 107.127.42.129 (talk) 19:09, 19 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
