Quotes by Cullen Murphy (?)

“The important question to ask is why these bodies are allowed to exist. If a country such as Spain allowed a repressive body like the Inquisition to exist for four hundred years, it is not because the Inquisition forced itself on the Spanish nation. It is because the Spaniards allowed it to exist.”
― Cullen Murphy, God's Jury: The Inquisition and the Making of the Modern World
