The Spanish Inquisition and the Roman Inquisition weren’t the same thing. That the authors of this piece don’t seem to understand that tells me it’s not “Real History”.
The author is a twit. The Spanish queen regent María Cristina de Borbón issued a decree abolishing the Spanish Inquisition on July 15, 1834. Napoleon was already dead for 13 years at that point.
Rodney Stark’s book “Bearing False Witness” shreds the narrative about the Inquisition and other slanders against the Church. Unfortunately it will never be read by those who need to read it.
