Detailed explanation-1: -More persecution, less education Since the inquisition was particularly suspicious of the educated, literate middle class, its impact on Spain’s cultural, scientific, and intellectual climate was severe. (As was the impact of the Stasi, or secret police, in East Germany.)
Detailed explanation-2: -The Inquisition was a powerful office set up within the Catholic Church to root out and punish heresy throughout Europe and the Americas. Beginning in the 12th century and continuing for hundreds of years, the Inquisition is infamous for the severity of its tortures and its persecution of Jews and Muslims.
Detailed explanation-3: -The findings of this study revealed that the Inquisition in Spain led to the relatively bloodless prosecution of Protestants, whereas the lack of such an institution in France created an unstable political environment that led to the growth of Protestant movements and the Wars of Religion.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Inquisition had jurisdiction only over Christians. It had no power to investigate, prosecute, or convict Jews, Muslims, or any open member of other religions. Anyone who was known to identify as either Jew or Muslim was outside of Inquisitorial jurisdiction and could be tried only by the King.
