    Just in case anyone else was curious about the phrase Auto-da-fé mentioned in the story: An auto-da-fé (/ˌɔːtoʊdəˈfeɪ, ˌaʊt-/ AW-toh-də-FAY, OW-; from Portuguese auto de fé) or Spanish: auto de fe ([ˈawto ðe ˈfe]) meaning 'act of faith'; was the ritual of public penance, carried out between the 15th and 19th centuries, of condemned heretics and apostates imposed by the Spanish, Portuguese, or Mexican Inquisition as punishment and enforced by civil authorities. Its most extreme form was death by burning. (thank you Wikipedia!)
