I mean that several of the largest witch trials in human history were Catholic, particularly in southern Germany. Witch trials were a regional phenomena, not a catholic or protestant one. There were many witch trials in protestant Scotland, but few in the protestant Netherlands. There were many witch trials in catholic Germany, but few in Spain. Attributing the witch trials to the protestant revolution itself is bad history.

> I'm not a Catholic, you can't goad me into taking a side. I'm observing from outside.

I'm not christian either.
