The Spanish Inquisition was known to be much stricter than the Romans.
The Spanish was created in 1478
The monarchs were the ones to control the inquisition in Spain
They tried to use the inquisition to hold power over recently converted people from
other religions.
• The church and pope once tried to take away the Spanish's Power from the
Inquisition but were unable to.
• The inquisition was ended in 1834.
Spanish Inquisition
• The main purpose for the Inquisition was to find the
non- believers and remove them from the
nation/religion
• The inquisition was founded to help unify Spain into
one country with one religion, which was Christianity.
People in the Spanish Inquisition
• Ferdinand and Isabella wanted the Inquisition to “purify” Spain and so they
asked the pope for permission.
• Tomas de Torquemada was the leader of the Inquisition for fifteen years,
starting in 1483.
• He was responsible for the death of about 2,000 Spaniards
• He made rules for the inquisition and also spread it through to other cities
and places.
Spanish Inquisition
• The Inquisition was ran by the inquisitor general who was in charge of the
local tribunals.
• The heretics were decided by the people and then brought to the tribunal.
• Then, the accused was given a chance to confess his/her heresy and others
that were also working against the Catholic church for a lighter punishment.
• But if they did not confess to the crime there would be a public ceremony
and killing or life sentence in prison.
Roman Inquisition
• The romans were not happy about the Reformation so to counter that idea
they created a church court called the Roman Inquisition.
• They fought against Protestantism. It was originally created to stop the
spread of Protestantism in Italy but it outlived its purpose.
• Later popes increased the Inquisition’s power.
• They tried to accuse people of being Protestants, practice of witchcraft, or
breaking church law.
Who Was Involved?
Roman inquisition
• The people that were involved in the
inquisition is the pope and cardinals
• Francesco Patrizi, Giodano Bruno, Tommaso
Campanella, Girolamo Cardano Cesare
Cremonini, Galileo Galilei, Demenico
Scandella, and Pope Clement VII
How did it Cause Disunity to Europe?
• The inquisition was sent all around
Europe. The protestant did not like
that idea and as the inquisition was
sent all over Italy the Protestant
stopped the local inquisitions. Which
lead to the Catholic Church losing
power.
