Was the court established by the church to uncover heresy and punish the heretics in The Inquisition?
Roman Catholic AnswerThere is no simple answer to this question, as you are dealing with a period of nearly seven centuries, and many different inquisitions. The Medieval Inquisition ran from 1184-1230. The Spanish Inquisition from 1478 through 1834, the Portuguese Inquisition from 1536 through 1821, and the roman Inquisition from 1542 through 1860. When people in the the modern, western world refer to "The Inquisition", most of the time they are referring to the Spanish Inquisition which was the only one which was NOT under the Church's control. The Spanish Inquisition was operated completely under the control of the Spanish crown and independent of the Holy See.Below are two links on the Inquisitions. Basically, Inquisitions under control of the Holy See were to seek out heresy and stop its effects on the population of the faithful, this was obviously not the case with the Spanish Inquisition - which was the only one operative in the Americas.
Why did the Spanish want the English to be Catholic?
The Spanish did not necessarily want all the English to be Catholic, but anyone who was considered a part of their nation were to be Catholic. This is because Ferdinand and Isabella wanted full unity under their two separate nations, and they thought having the same religion would help to unify them since they saw all the turmoil in the other European countries. This is why they started the Inquisition.

Why the inquisition started?
The inquisition was started by the Roman Catholic Church to fight against heretics and persecute heresy against teachings of the Church. It started in 12th-century France and was later expanded to other European countries..Catholic AnswerAs mentioned above, the Inquisition was started to fight against heretics and persecute heresy, there were three major Inquisitions, starting in 12 century France against the Cathars. All three Inquisitions were mainly run by the local governments, they were not primarily against heresy as they were against people who were against the local government. In all three cases, those who were working against the government were cloaking their activities under cover of the Church, so the Inquisition used that as their tool to uncover un-patriotic activity. For most of the centuries before the protestant revolt the government was Catholic and the traitors were not, medieval society was an entirely different creature than modern society and not well understood by people raised and educated since the "Enlightenment".

How was the inquisition used the expel Jews and Muslims from Christian Spain?
The Spanish Inquisition, formally, the Tribunal of the Holy Office of the Inquisition, was a tribunal established in 1478 by Catholic Monarchs Ferdinand II of Aragon and Isabella I of Castile. It was intended to maintain Catholic orthodoxy in their kingdoms, and to replace the medieval inquisition which was under papal control. The Inquisition worked in large part to ensure the orthodoxy of recent converts, especially Jews, Muslims and others. Various motives have been proposed for the monarchs' decision to found the Inquisition, such as increasing political authority, weakening opposition, suppressing conversos, and profiting from confiscation of the property of convicted heretics. The new body was under the direct control of the Spanish monarchy. It was not definitively abolished until 1833, during the reign of Isabella II.For more information go to Wikipedia.org

Why was the Inquisition started?
As Spain was reconquered from the Muslims, both they and the Jewish population were put under very great pressure to become Christians. If fact, they were viciously persecuted if they didn't. Gradually the secular and church authorities in Spain became obsessed with the notion that there were large numbers of 'false converts' secretly practising their old religion. Originally, the purpose of the Spanish Inquisition was to root out 'false converts', especially from Judaism. Later, the Spanish Inquisition also turned its attention to heresy, challenging the authority of the Catholic Church and disrespect for the Inquisition itself. Some historians regard the Inquisition as a vast terror machine ... By c.1600 about 20% of cases tried by the Inquisition were for alleged offences against the Inquisition! It was almost unknown for anyone who came before the Inquisition to be acquitted. The best one could hope for was that the case would be suspended.
