Original Note:
This article is long, but it dispels the notion that this was used by the Church for punishing heretics. The only information found to date is it was in the collection of an executioner, and no ties to the Catholic (or any other) Church have been found. https://historyforatheists.com/2024/02/the-great-myths-14-the-inquisition-myths-and-history/
