Church History

I am in the middle of a church history class. We started back with Plato and his affects on Christian thought. We are now digging into the Reformation. My brain hurts trying to shove so much information in, but it's very interesting.
I just have to add something to my textbook however. In the 15th century Girolamo Savonarola was martyred for ticking off the wrong people. He was hung and burned in Piazza della Signoria in Florence Italy. There is a plaque in the square that gives the date (May 23) and tells who else died with him. Our text only mentions that he was hung. So here you go Mr. Ellingson! He was hung AND burned.
Goes to show you should never tick off the Italians I guess....
