You might be interested in a movie I saw back in the 70s, put out by Bob Jones University, called Flame in the Wind, set during the Spanish Inquisition. It was anything but pretty. The description being, would people choose a system that offered safety, protection and respectability, or Jesus Christ, who offers salvation from sin, and possible torture and death. A stark choice indeed, but a choice made by many. Now, I ask you, would people willingly be burned at the stake for a lie? I don’t believe that for a second. They went to their deaths, knowing they had the truth. Suppose?

I do not see many movies from them any more. The Inquisitions certainly are a worthy subject, though often the numbers can be inflated (a defense of some is seen here ), and early Prots had to unlearn this means of dealing with theological dissent.
