Catholicism at the time of the Inquisition WAS evil

Certain Catholics were evil. Not the teachings of the Church. There's a difference.

True or false: The Catholic Church hierarchy supported the Inquisition.

From what I remember, they put people to death for opposing the church. I somehow doubt that was a rogue element working within the church.

Exactly! And the same may be said about followers of any other religion, including Islam.
