Detailed explanation-1: -The Inquisition was originally intended primarily to identify heretics among those who converted from Judaism and Islam to Catholicism.
Detailed explanation-2: -In 1233 Gregory IX established the Papal Inquisition to regularize the prosecution of heresy.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Spanish Inquisition was a judicial institution that lasted between 1478 and 1834. Its ostensible purpose was to combat heresy in Spain, but, in practice, it resulted in consolidating power in the monarchy of the newly unified Spanish kingdom. Its brutal methods led to widespread death and suffering.
Detailed explanation-4: -Torture was used only to get a confession and wasn’t meant to actually punish the accused heretic for his crimes. Some inquisitors used starvation, forced the accused to consume and hold vast quantities of water or other fluids, or heaped burning coals on parts of their body.
