Considering how much of things like the Alhambra Decree and the abrogation of the Treaty of Granada were linked to the biases of Queen Isabella and her confessors, the question must be raised as to both how could these confessional expulsions be avoided and what the longer term results with be?

Mind you, I see Catholicism remaining official and conversion to same a requirement for any save possibly some diplomats to rise past village headman or perhaps effective member of a city council where a Jewish or Muslim quarter remains important. Not to mention how obvious it would be that rebels get punished severely. But a situation where keeping one's head down, paying applicable taxes, and not denouncing the trinity/godhead of Christ Jesus in the public square means no official harassment seems doable.

How so? And for that matter now what?
