Yes, there were some Catholics that were persecuted and executed in the Reformation in the UK, but this was a miniscule number compared with the number of victims of the Holy Roman Inquisition that lasted for reportedly six hundred years in different countries in Europe. I am not aware of Catholics being tortured by Protestants. The people that were tortured in the Inquisition were the "heretics" that refused to bow to Rome. This is one of the tools of the Inquisition: " One end of the fork pressed under the chin, while the other pierced the chest, forcing the victim to hold their head upright. If they moved or nodded off, the prongs would stab into their flesh. This device was designed to inflict prolonged discomfort, rather than immediate death, instilling fear and control over the accused...." Edited January 13 by blackbird Quote
