Its most startling conclusion is that the Inquisition was not so bad after all. Torture was rare and only about 1 percent of those brought before the Spanish Inquisition were actually executed.

Why did the one true church need to torture anyone?

Why did "about 1 percent" have to be executed by the one true church?

Church didn’t torture anyone. Secular authorities did.
