The Church has always been an organization that spreads the Gospel of Salvation. However, not everyone understands the message properly all the time and sometimes go astray in the thoughts and beliefs. Those who err are called heretics and the Church has always attempted to correct the errors in their beliefs. It is not, and never has been, a control issue as errant beliefs can jeopardize the soul and the Church must attempt to correct those errors or she herself is in error. So, when a grave heresy is or was detected, the Church attempts to correct the error via discussions regarding doctrine and the reasons that the issue is wrong. If the persons are not recalcitrant, like the Arians who denied the divinity of Christ, they are not compelled to believe the truth they are urged to do so for their sake. However, they are free to leave the Church and jeopardize themselves. The first council to ever deal with errors in beliefs was the Council of Jerusalem that dealt with Judiazers (see Acts 15).

What Search for heretics ordered by the Pope?

The search for heretics ordered by the Pope primarily refers to the establishment of the Inquisition, which began in the 12th century.

This often involved trials, interrogations, and severe punishments for those found guilty of heresy. The most notorious of these efforts occurred during the Spanish Inquisition, which intensified in the late 15th century under King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella.
