Nothing, just being a dick. I do think it's wrong to portray them as overwhelming cruel. Id say the 1500s were the cruelest century I've ever really looked at. England and Germany implemented new laws of capital punishment that were boiling people alive and the 1500s were when all of Germany's infamous torture laws were written. The Middle Ages weren't great obviously but I think people misappropriate a lot of shite from the early modern onto the Middle Ages.

Fun fact, the Pope did not endorse the Inquisition. The king went on with it against the wishes of the pope for politics purposes.

Don't let that get in the way of people slamming Christianity/the Church. They have that and blue laws to equivocate Christianity with Islam.
