... as William James pointed out, in his essay on The Moral Equivalent of War.
True, Gandhi, King, and the Albigensians do prove that you get lumps or worse with non-violent resistance, but even when the victors have no sense of shame, as with the Inquisitors (at least some of whom most have felt shame, I imagine, even if others really believed that the Church was right?), still, the Inquisitors themselves noted with admiration the courage of the Albigensians as they went to the stake. That impression, which survived the Cathars themselves, made a difference, it seems.
