The Inquisition began in 12th-century France to combat the spread of religious sectarianism and to combat to heresy. The Inquisition was a group of institutions within the judicial system of the Roman Catholic Church.
Inquisition is a noun.
The general term is "The Inquisition". It was most brutal in Spain but spanned the Roman Catholic Church. The "Congregation for Universal Inquisition" was erected in the Roman Curia in 1542. The name was changed to the "Congregation of the Holy Office" in 1908 and was changed again to the "Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith" in 1965. It was moibund until revived and strengthed by Cardinal Ratzigar under the auspices of Pope John Paul II (names sound familiar?). See the Related Links. The Spanish Inquisition as we know it with the brutal torture and forced conversion of the Jewish populace was for the most part in only Spain. Although, at the time of the Spanish Inquisition Spain (or it's various feudalistic kingdoms like Castile and Aragon) had holdings in other places of Europe like Sicily for example. In those places there was a more toned down Inquisition that wasn't as large scale and brutal as the one occurring in Seville and other portions of Spain.
The goal of the Inquisition was to enforce Catholicism in Spain and in Spanish territories. Torture was considered legitimate by the inquisitors. As under the Soviets, everyone was afraid of informers. Many thousands were tortured and killed. As part of the Christianizing of Spain, Jews who openly remained Jewish were expelled from the country. Many died in the process, and everyone else was uprooted.

The Spanish Inquisition, formally, the Tribunal of the Holy Office of the Inquisition, was a tribunal established in 1478 by Catholic Monarchs Ferdinand II of Aragon and Isabella I of Castile. It was intended to maintain Catholic orthodoxy in their kingdoms, and to replace the medieval inquisition which was under papal control. The Inquisition worked in large part to ensure the orthodoxy of recent converts, especially Jews, Muslims and others. Various motives have been proposed for the monarchs' decision to found the Inquisition, such as increasing political authority, weakening opposition, suppressing conversos, and profiting from confiscation of the property of convicted heretics. The new body was under the direct control of the Spanish monarchy. It was not definitively abolished until 1833, during the reign of Isabella II.For more information go to Wikipedia.org
