Torqeumada and the Pope were in close communication, regardless of the distance between them. What Torquemada did, he did at the bidding of the Roman Popae, and with permission from Isabella and Ferdinand. He was, after all, Isabella’s confessor.

I don’t ascribe to any “sect”.

Let us follow Jesus, even as Paul followed Jesus.

We are not perfect. But we must pursue The Way the Savior set before us.

“Torqeumada and the Pope were in close communication, regardless of the distance between them.”

No.

“What Torquemada did, he did at the bidding of the Roman Popae, and with permission from Isabella and Ferdinand.”

No. Torquemada refused the pleas of the pope to correct the excesses of the Spanish Inquisition. You might want to read Hillgarth, The Spanish Kingdoms, vol 2 pages 547-548.
