 | | The Inquisition against the conversos culminated in the expulsion of all of the Jews from Spain in 1492. | | | He alleged that the Inquisition was a cynical ploy by Ferdinand and Isabella to confiscate the Jews' property. | | | With the expulsion of the Jews, the Inquisition had free reign, as its authority extended only to Christians, not Jews or Muslims, and every Jew in the King's states had been baptised (New Christians) or expelled. |

| | The purpose of the Spanish Inquisition was to discover and punish converted Jews (and later Muslims) who were insincere. | | | This institution, which became known as the Roman Inquisition, was intended to combat Protestantism, but it is perhaps best known historically for its condemnation of Galileo. | | | Best known as the patron of Christopher Columbus in 1492, Isabella also introduced the Inquisition to Castille in an attempt to quash heresy. |

| | Slave dealing and slavery and its connection with Judaism and Jews was offensive to the Spanish reformers." The Spanish Inquisition brought about "a reign of terror throughout Europe" which was responsible for the impoverishment, exile, and death of countless Jews, Muslims, and "heretical" Christians. | | | If they would not admit their heresy or indict others the accused were publicly introduced in a large ceremony before they were publicly killed or sentenced to a life in prison. | | | In their search for incriminating evidence against the Jews, the authors even enlist the support of the Spanish Inquisition. |

| | The Inquisition |
| | Conversos (Secret Jews) and New Christians were targeted because of their close relations to the Jewish community, many of whom were Jews in all but their name. | | | In the beginning, the Inquisition dealt only with Christian heretics and did not interfere with the affairs of Jews. | | | Hoping to eliminate ties between the Jewish community and Conversos, the Jews of Spain were expelled in 1492.. |

| | As the Catholic Encyclopedia puts it, the Inquisition sought to prevent the "Judaizing of all of Spain", that is, the spread of Protestantism, and thus persuaded the Catholic monarchs to expel the Jews in 1492. | | | De Rojas, a barrister, defended an uncle accused by the Inquisition of covertly practicing Judaism, suggesting that his family was among the Jews who chose conversion rather than exile in 1492. | | | Then the Inquisition hunted down Jews, for Jews knew Hebrew, and might teach it to Protestants who then might translate the Bible (which happened in Luther's Germany). |

| | The Origins of the Inquisition in 15th Century Spain (review) |
| | Like the Spanish antisemites' hatred of the conversos, the German Nazis' hatred of the Jews so affected their thinking, their policies and decisions that all their activities, in virtually all fields, were influenced in varying measure by that hate. | | | Throughout the period of the Inquisition, both in the Iberian peninsula and the New World, the New Christians were organized as a set of intermarrying and interlocking family clans characterized by high levels of within-group cooperation and patronage in pursuit of economic and political goals. | | | Actually, this Spanish "racism" was a response to the ardent ethnic consciousness of the Jews -- both open and secret. |

| | In 1492, the same year that Columbus discovered the New World for Spain, Isabella and Ferdinand expelled from their country all Jews who refused to convert to Catholicism. | | | The Inquisition was very similar to the witch hunts in New England before the American Revolution. | | | In northern Europe, the pope tried to use the Inquisition against the growing Protestant movement of the 1500s, but the Protestants were much too strong. |

| | While it is true Llorente was the last Secretary of the Inquisition in Madrid in the late 18th century who had access to the archives, it is readily conceded that Llorente was a biased "anti-cleric" whose "facts" and figures are quite unreliable. | | | This is particularly true of Hunt's wild claims on the subject of the Inquisition, since Hunt relies on extremely biased and unreliable sources (e.g. | | | The Inquisition: A Political and Military Study of its Establishment by Hoffman Nickerson/preface Hilaire Belloc (orig 1932, 1968) |

| | Bent on wiping out heresy, the Inquisition, we were told, arbitrarily arrested innocent Spaniards accused of heresy and browbeat them during endless and unjust interrogations, often torturing the accused to secure meaningless confessions. | | | The condemned were then sent to vile prisons, there to await death by burning at the stake. | | | Historians interviewed on the program claimed that four out of five Spaniards in the 16th century lived in the countryside, far from the cities where the Inquisition operated. |

| | Although the Inquisition was in force in Spain in the 14th century, it was not until the late 15th century with the marriage of Isabella of Castile and Ferdinand of Aragon that the Inquisition became an instrument to promote racial purity and Catholic orthodoxy throughout the two kingdoms. | | | The core of the collection had been purchased by José Porrua from a private Spanish collector in the mid 20th century. | | | Nevertheless the collection's more than five hundred items capture the significance of the Spanish Inquisition not only in a general sense but also in detail. |
