Burning Lunatics.—The Western Watchman (Roman Catholic) in discussing Giordano Bruno quotes with approval Marion Crawford, who tells us that while Bruno was not tortured in Venice, he was brought before the tribunal of the Inquisition in Venice three times. He was then sent to Rome at the demand of the pope where he was burned at the stake. Mr. Crawford concludes: "He was in reality a degenerate and a lunatic who should have ended his days in an asylum." Yet it was this "lunatic" which the Papacy burned at the stake. A sane heretic could not have been treated much worse.
