During the Middle Ages, the pope issued a bull which banned the use of torture for getting confessions or punishment. To the best of my knowledge, it was never actually sanctioned prior to that time either. The idea of used of physical punishment to gain forgiveness might have arisen for the punishment of heretics and witches in the Late Middle Ages, and might have been accepted on a widespread basis as the Renaissance went into the witch hysteria, but that was mostly after the Middle Ages.
