A better question would be "when did the church not inflict cruelty or unusual punishment?" If by" the church" you mean the catholic, protestant, or Orthodox, (from which all churches basically sprouted out of,) then I can guarantee that their history is full of it. Frankly, without religion the world would have a lot less fighting, torture and wars. Can't we all just get along and be Unitarian Universalists?!

It's only through the organization of religion that the right of communion was limited to the official clergy. The intent, in early Christianity, was to have no formal church.
