The History of the Roman Catholics Inquisition

The History of the Roman Catholics Inquisition 

would go on for 700 to to 1000 years and thousands were murdered and millions tortured by the Roman catholic church. The last execution in 1826 the victim was a schoolmaster convicted of heresy. 

 These records are by and from the Catholic  Church to provide the accounting and financial cost for its devices, mechanisms and manpower use to hunt down and torture or murder its victims. The Catholic church keeps no secrets, and easily obtained from the Vatican's records so called Archivio Segreto, stored in a vast underground bunker below a former observatory. The Inquisition records are kept mainly in the Palazzo del Sant'Uffizio itself and for four and a half centuries up until 1998 the archive was closed to outsiders. 

The Roman Catholic Church so makes no apology. It would seem it's proud of their hideous crimes of murder and torturing of millions. In fact it gave Roman Inquisitors the enthusiasm that highly motivated them, he knew his job could be a stepping-stone to the papacy itself. No fewer than three grand inquisitors went on to become  pope the vicar of Jesus Christ the earthly representative of Christ, the one who stands in the place of Jesus Christ and possess his authority for the church. Pope Pius V appealed to his long experience as a supreme inquisitor, he was also receiving Sainthood. Pope Paul IV, Pope Pius V, and Pope Sixtus V. 

Promoted to this position for being  zealously enthusiastic of hunting down heretics and brutally torturing them.

Spain,’ by Llorente, (formerly secretary of the Inquisition), pgs. 206-208. This authority has acknowledged that more than 300,000 suffered persecution in Spain alone, of whom 31,912 died in the flames. Millions more were slain for their faith throughout Europe.”. Clerics were given authority to use torture in a document issued by the pope. They were also given advice manuals with instructions for interrogating suspected heretics trying to get them to confess loyalty to the catholic church.

 Some inquisitors used starvation, forced the accused to consume and hold vast quantities of water or other fluids, or heaped burning coals on parts of their body. But these methods didn't always work fast enough for their liking. So, their Roman Catholic church imagined and devised and invented extreme and horrible curl methods to be more to their liking and entertaining.

Strappado some had their hands tied behind his back and the rope looped over a brace in the ceiling of the chamber or attached to a pulley. Then the subject was raised until he was hanging from his arms. This caused the shoulders to break or in the least pulled out of their sockets. Sometimes, the torturers added a series of drops, jerking the subject up and down. Weights could be added to the ankles and feet to make the hanging even more painful and damaging this person's hips and ankles. The rack was another well-known torture method associated with inquisition. The subject had his hands and feet tied or chained to rollers at one or both ends of a wooden or metal frame. The torturer turned the rollers with a handle, which pulled the chains or ropes in increments and stretched the subject's joints, often until they dislocated. If the torturer continued turning the rollers, the accused's arms and legs could be torn off. Often, simply seeing someone else being tortured on the rack was enough to make another person to confess so They began parading their victims through the streets in elaborate displays of punishment.

"You would invite the diplomatic core to come and watch. The nobility would be there," he says. "People would be lined up in the streets to watch everyone going by. If people who were condemned had in fact already died, their bodies would be dug up and they'd be brought by on carts.

The dead bodies were burned on public funeral pyres. The living was publicly tried, and then tortured for several hours. Some were burned at the stake. Others were forced to become galley slaves or returned to prison for more bouts of torture the accused heretics were on strappado or the rack, inquisitors often applied other torture devices to their bodies. These included­ heated metal pincers, thumbscrews, boots, or other devices designed to burn, pinch or otherwise mutilate their hands, feet or other body parts.
