Rome's Murderous Rage

Church of Ignatius / the Church of Gesu - Rome

In the Church of Ignatius of Loyola, there is a huge statue of Ignatius holding the 'Constitution of the Society of Jesus'. Beneath him is a man [Martin Luther] with a closed Bible.

In the Church of Gesus, Pietro Le Gros’ sculpture entitled 'The Triumph of Faith over Heresy'. An attendant angel (lower left) rips their translations of the Bible and their writings to shreds.

"Even the death of a prisoner was no barrier to the fury of the Inquisition, or the grave an asylum against its persecutions. His tomb was violated, his bones burned, and his children deprived of their inheritance. Many instances are recorded of this inhuman act having been done; the chief motive of the holy tribunal in thus waging war upon the dead being, of course, to gain possession of their property." Foxe's Book of Martyrs - JohnFoxe, 1563 (p 259-260)
