I think the 50 million figure for the inqusition is a total fantasy. The 2,000 figure is low for the whole inquistion but it wasn't for the whole period where there was anything called an inquisition going on. It is an estimate of the number of death sentances carried out (not all death, just death by planned execution), during the Spanish Inquisition (the most notorious but not the only inquisition). The total deaths from the inquisition, might be 5,000 to 10,000, it might be 50,000, maybe more, but there is no way its close to 50 million. Of course even 10,000 intentionally caused unjust deaths is a horrible crime, and that is a fairly low end estimate. Tim
