Although the Spanish Inquisition was licensed by the Catholic Church, it was primarily a work of the Spanish Crown. Mostly the Inquisition itself was the "tactic" if you will. If someone was reported to the Inquisitor, then an investigation was held, if there was enough evidence, the person would be brought in and questioned. Contrary to "popular opinion" the Inquisition was very mild compared to the civil government, and many cases are known of people who deliberately confessed to some transgression to get their case transferred to the Inquisition to receive more lenient and better treatment.
