The general term is "The Inquisition". It was most brutal in Spain but spanned the Roman Catholic Church.
The "Congregation for Universal Inquisition" was erected in the Roman Curia in 1542. The name was changed to the "Congregation of the Holy Office" in 1908 and was changed again to the "Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith" in 1965. It was moibund until revived and strengthed by Cardinal Ratzigar under the auspices of Pope John Paul II (names sound familiar?).

Although, at the time of the Spanish Inquisition Spain (or it's various feudalistic kingdoms like Castile and Aragon) had holdings in other places of Europe like Sicily for example. In those places there was a more toned down Inquisition that wasn't as large scale and brutal as the one occurring in Seville and other portions of Spain.
