The devil made me do it
Sometime ago I read of some Christians who blamed the inquisition on St Paul for saying that he condemned an "unbudged" soul to burn in hell since he did not respond to Paul's attempts to convert him. I estimate now as I recall, my impression was it was a group of a hundred or so.
Seems to me those who carried out the acts of the inquisition should be those to be blamed. This is an example if the ability to blame anyone in sight for their own the devil made me do it guilt. I suspect there were "underlying" motives satisfied here.
