Roman Catholic AnswerThere is no "the Inquisition", there were several over maybe eight centuries. Most contemporary people when asking about "the" inquisition are referring to the Spanish Inquisition which was set up by King Gerdinand and Queen Isabella in 1478, and approved by Pope Sixtus IV. It was directed against lapsed converts from Judaism, crypto-Jews, and other apostates whose secret activities were dangerous to Church and State. I do not think the Inquistion changed the Church as it was basically set up to deal with apostates.
