>>3871833 Reminiscent of A. Huxley's work The Devils of Loudun. Historical characters & narrative, as Huxley reveals the religious, political and social factors leading to the execution of a priest, Urbain Grandier, in the French town of Loudun, in 1634.
Couldn't keep his hands off the ladies. They say things sometimes come down to whose ox was gored; in this case it had something to do with whose wife/daughter got hosed. Even so, he might have gotten away with it, as so many have, if he hadn't run hog wild amok. A sexual tyrannosaurus indeed……went over to the local nunnery and did many of the nuns.
To the point—Grandier was burned at the stake in front of the whole town. But first……they put planks on his legs and piled stones on top until his legs were crushed. There was a time when I thought this was going a bridge too far, a sort of sadistic revenge, a gratuitous torture. Not now. There are entities walking this planet that need to be sent on their way….outta here!! But first, a public indication that the crime of the individual was so enormous, so unbearable, so dangerous, that their departure should be out of the ordinary, a rare discomfort.
