A bit about the Inquisition
The inquisition, ... not a pleasant
experience. It was the church that preaches
love that turned Europe in a gigantic dungeon
in the middle ages. Old, decrepit men claiming
to be imparting God's justice on the evil wretches.
It was not exactly fun. The basic premise was,
as you know, that the end justified the means.
To save your soul from the pits of hell, they
were going to bring hell itself to your doorstep.

None was excempt,
young and old, men and women, black and white,
Christian, Muslim or Jew.... it didn't matter
... If you were suspect of having dealings with
the devil, off to the dungeon with you. What is
it, with us humans, that need to go to extremes
to prove a point? In the name of God, we're ready
to kill and maim. In the name of love we are ready
to hate. Luckily those times are over ...or ...
Are they?
We have more sophisticated ways of screwing each
other. But the images are there and some of them
are ... ehem ... nice, in a sort of sadistic way.
The instruments used to extract confessions are
awesomly terrifying. Maybe part of the stories
that came out of the Inquisition are just that,
stories, just as some of the stories of Martyrs
are just stories ... written by people who find
the idea enjoyable and for the people that will
share that 'enjoyment'. In any case, whether the
individual stories are true or not, some of them
are so incredibly sexy that they can only be the
brain child of some predecessor of the Marqui
De Sade. We decided to make up one of these stories,
to build a set and to see how far we can go with
this.
We don't particularly
feel that religious persecution is chic.
In fact, all persecution is plain evil. But
a fantasy is a fantasy is a fantasy and some fantasies
are just hard to avoid. Perhaps after the
Roman Empire and it's juicy forms of torture,
the one that came close to match them in cruelty
and fetish was the Spanish Inquisition. So
off we go into a dark corner of Camille's mind
and find Red Feline, falling in the hands of the
Inquisitors.. Here we give you a story in four
parts, we will also add some additional stories
and pictures dedicated to the Inquisition.
