Rodrigo, thanks for the additional info. Because I am buying it at the CP price (which should end up being 16 dollars), I will keep my bid. Thanks for the heads up on what to expect. I will have to check into Llorete! Thanks again for your input. Tom

Rodrigo, There are multiple church histories on Logos, from both Protestant and Catholic perspectives, if I'm not mistaken. According to Wikipedia (obviously not the final word in authority) Juan Antonio Llorente was a Roman Catholic who, in 1785, became commissary of the Holy Office of the Inquisition. Is that correct? His membership as a Mason and his rejection of King Ferdinand VII and embrace of France never seem to have affected his membership in the Roman Catholic Church. Also, the Encyclopaedia Britannica (11th ed.) makes the judgement that his use of the documents relating to the Inquisition was honest. There is a large body of scholarship regarding the Spanish Inquisition now. Making the accusation that Logos doesn't care about Catholics seems a bit extreme in that context.

More recent scholarship about the Inquisition by non-affiliated scholars (no loyalties to any denomination) have been much more balanced. Older writings were tainted by bias and that's why the Inquisition is called the Black Legend--because it is defamatory (Black) and predominantly fictional embellishment (Legend). Go ahead and buy this work if you wish, understanding that you are collecting it as evidence of the ongoing tendentious interpretation and fictionalizing in the anti-Catholic Protestant and secular academic Anglosphere.
