It's hard to imagine the things that happened between those walls over the years. Definitely wouldn't want to end up there back than. It is a little creepy thinking of the many that got tortured there. I imagine actually visiting there now it has an uneasy feeling.
I can't believe church priest were used to gain information. I agree with you Church and State should be separate from one another. I imagine one would have had to keep a quiet tongue even amongst those who thought could be trusted.
