Radio West: God's Jury

God's Jury
Radio West with Doug Fabrizio (KUER: University of Utah/Utah Public Media)

In a new book, the writer Cullen Murphy sets the record straight about the Catholic Church's 700-year persecution of its enemies, both real and imagined.

Murphy joins Doug on Thursday to remind us the Inquisition isn't something safely relegated to the past.
