The inquisition was a court designed to combat what?
The inquisition was set up by the Roman Catholic church, to suppress heresy. In this context, heresy means any acts or dogmas opposing those of the Roman Catholic church. The inquisition was, so to speak, the religious police and besides that an instrument to keep the church pure (orthodox), an instrument of power. You will find some very good articles on Inquisition at answers.com (for instance by using 1-click answers). The Inquisition is designed to do evil in the name of good. Using it the Church murdered the innocent and enriched itself (or its officers, more properly) with the property it confiscated from them and their families. There is no morally relative argument that can justify the bloody destruction it wrought upon Europe and America, and indeed, in Christian terms, such moral perversity as the Inquisition can only be the product of Satanic influence.

What was the Catholic Church's attempt to find heretics in the Middle Ages?
It was called the Inquisition; specifically, the Roman Inquisition:from Modern Catholic Dictionary by John A. Hardon, S.J. Doubleday & Co., Inc. Garden City, NY 1980Inquisition. The special court or tribunal appointed by the Catholic Church to discover and suppress heresy and to punish heretics. The Roman Inquisition of the middle twelfth century, with its ecclesiastical courts for trying and punishing heretics, arose during the ravages of the anti-social Albigensian sect, whose doctrines and practices were destructive not only of faith but of Christian morality and public order. While Church authorities would condemn a person found guilty of heresy, it was the civil power that actually inflicted the penalty. The reformation of the heretic was first sought. By exhortations and minor punishments he was urged to give up his heresy. Many did. Only the relapsed heretics who were found guilty were turned over to the civil government for punishment required under civil law. The fact that secular law prescribed death must be understood in the light of those days when heresy was anarchy and treason and leniency in criminal codes was unknown. Like all institutions that have a human character abuses crept in.
