In the entire 350 years of the Spanish Inquisition, about 30,000 people were killed.

Where'd she get that. The Spanish Inquisition lasted for a thousand years, and the number of deaths were about 3,000.

A second variety of the Inquisition was the infamous Spanish Inquisition, authorized by Pope Sixtus IV in CV1478. Pope Sixtus tried to establish harmony between the inquisitors and the ordinaries, but was unable to maintain control of the desires of Ki ng Ferdinand V and Queen Isablella. Sixtus agreed to recognize the independence of the Spanish Inquisition. This institution survived to the beginning of the 19th century, and was permanently suppressed by a decree on July 15, 1834.

Lets see. 1834 - 1478 = Tada! 356

Anything else?

You'd do well not to question Ann on any historical references without thorough research.

Particularly around here.
