The Catholic Church in the Middle Ages were the primary source of persecution during the Middle Ages. They persecuted the Jewish people, Protestants, anyone that did not believe in The Bible, and anyone they thought was a witch.
The Catholic Church and Christians persecuted and killed Jews because they blamed the Jews for Jesus' death. The Jews were often blamed for wrongdoings in the community and Christians used that as an excuse to persecute and kill them.
Both the Catholic Church and Jews persecuted Christians (Protestant and other new denominations) during the Middle Ages because they strayed away from typical beliefs.
Another group of people that were persecuted were people believed to be witches. They were hated by the Catholic Church and Christians and thought to be evil and working with the devil. People who were accused to be witches were tortured until they confessed. This probably led to a false confession the majority of the time.
