Best Answer

The Inquisition intended to stop the spread of heresy. Heresy, basically, covered the adoption, maintaining, and spreading any ideas that were contrary to the authorised teachings of the Roman Catholic Church. This included, but was not limited to, the teachings of Martin Luther and anybody who followed such teachings.

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.
