What matters is that they are the square pegs that the establishment just can't get to fit into round holes.

in the context of his essay, who would be those "unshaken in faith?"

those so adamant of the evils in those they are prosecuting that they developed horrible ways to expunge that evil through forced confessions or those subjected to the tortures?

they have other methods that were less public for dealing with those who didn't fit into an ideal society...i could agree if you said it was an arguement for the mysogynistic tendencies that patriarch societies enforced through out the history of man and woman, but faith is such a fine, personal line that only the person wielding it and their god can judge the depth of that faith, those torturing heretics were as faithful to their convictions as the heretics that cried innocence, were to theirs.

only faith can instill that level of oblivious cruelty, blinding a person from the true reasons for their actions.
