Daniel 7:21,25 Quote:    The pit, with a trap-door, and the small cells with skeletons in them, embedded in lime, which Gavazzi saw in the Roman Inquisition, and will be presently described in his own words, were probably a variety of the same secret prison, as used in Italy.

Daniel 7:21,25 Quote:    During my recent visit to Mexico, I saw myself the remains of several of the victims who had been walled up alive by the Inquisition. The bodies are exhibited in the public museum in the city of Mexico, and also in a museum in Toluca.
