What is the difference between the Roman Inquisition and the Spanish Inquisition?
Catholic AnswerThe Roman Inquisition was first employed in 1022, and later institutionalized as the Inquisition in 1231. Inquisition simply meant an inquiry that followed the procedures of Roman law, including: the accused was not permitted to confront their accusers, but they could submit a list of their enemies, whose testimony was then inadmissible. The accused was allowed to answer the charges and was sometimes allowed counsel. Torture was permitted in order to obtain a confession, but it was used sparingly, especially in heresy case. An individual accused of heresy who denied being a heretic was considered to have recanted. Defendants were often acquitted, convictions could be appealed to the pope and were sometimes overturned, and occasionally an overzealous inquisitor was removed and punished by the Holy See. The chief purpose was to weed out heresy, anyone who recanted was usually given penance, sometimes public, and of the few who were actually burned (more were burned "in effigy" then actually put to the flames), some were snatched from the flames at the last moment due to recanting. The primary purpose was to save souls, and a person who died while still confessing heresy was considered a failure to the Inquisition. The Inquisition was seen as an absolute necessity as many of the heretical movements of the Middle Ages threatened civil society entirely. The Roman Inquisition was noteworthy for its lenience. It was known as the Congregation of the Holy Office up until Vatican II, and since then has been known as the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, most famously headed by Cardinal Ratzinger under Pope John Paul II. Cardinal Ratzinger was known as Pope Benedict XVI later in life.The Spanish InquisitionThe Spanish Inquisition was a different animal, it started around 1487 by King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella and empowered by Pope Sixtus IV. It was primarily aimed at lapsed converts from Judaism, crypto-Jews, and other apostates who secret activites were dangerous to Church and State. In other words, it had no authority over people who were not Catholics, the "Jews" who came under investigation by the Spanish Inquisition were all converts to Catholicism. Those who remained Jews were not subject to the Inquisition in any manner whatsoever. The Spanish Inquisition didn't end until 1826. The Spanish Inquisition has suffered from the propaganda of protestant England and only now the full truth is coming out, despite what you may have read about in secular histories or Monty Python's movies.

Why does no one expect a Spanish Inquisition?
The concept of the Spanish Inquisition being unexpected did not arise from historical accounts of the Inquisition itself, but through the satirical and absurdist humour of Monty Python's Flying Circus (a famous British group of comedians and their television program of the same name).The Spanish Inquisition itself was a court and associated enforcers charged with asserting the orthodoxy of the Catholic Church in Spain, separate from papal control. In 1478, the then Spanish monarchs established the tribunal to replace the Medieval Inquisition, which was directed from Rome.The Spanish Inquisition was in no real way unexpected, as the multi-religion state of Spain had long since experienced tensions between the ruling Christian faith and the Muslims and Jews who remained in Spain even after the reconquest of the Iberian Peninsula. It was only a matter of time before the state itself took action to expel the Jews and repress conversos, Moriscos and protestants.The famous sketches by Monty Python's Flying Circus often depicted an 'everyday' situation, in which one character may be receiving a large number of questions and say with ironic hyperbole "I didn't expect the Spanish Inquisition" (meaning 'I did not expect to be interrogated in this manner'), at which point Michael Palin and several other actors would jump into the scene dressed as officers of the Spanish Inquisition and exclaim in reply "No one expects the Spanish Inquisition!". This is the origin of the phrase.
