"[i]Torture[/i] which uses physical or moral violence to extract confessions, punish the guilty, frighten opponents, or satisfy hatred is contrary to respect for the person and for human dignity." ([i]Catechism of the Catholic Church[/i], no. 2297)

"In times past, cruel practices were commonly used by legitimate governments to maintain law and order, often without protest from the Pastors of the Church, who themselves adopted in their own tribunals the prescriptions of Roman law concerning torture. Regrettable as these facts are, the Church always taught the duty of clemency and mercy. She forbade clerics to shed blood. In recent times it has become evident that these cruel practices were neither necessary for public order, nor in conformity with the legitimate rights of the human person. On the contrary, these practices led to ones even more degrading." ([i]Catechism of the Catholic Church[/i], no. 2298)

You are going to have to cite a book and page number confirming what you say.

Clerics never put anyone to death. After being charged with heresy by an ecclesiastical court, the accused would be punished by the civil authorities.
