the Inquisition as an institution never actually existed.

And the Congregation for the Propagation of the Faith doesn't exist, either. Just another popular myth.

The FACT that inquests (AN inquisition) took place, or that they were formed by local and some times papal command, is not indispute. The concept of the Medieval Inquisition as a large all pervasive organization is however a myth.
