The Holy Office of the Inquisition (Papal Inquistion) was concerned with heresy and heretics.
In 1478, Spain set up its own Inquistion - the Spanish Inquisition. Initially, its sole function was to find insincere converts from Judaism. This was soon extended to insincere converts from Islam. Spain had a problem entirely of its own making: in the interests of uniformity, it put immense pressure on its large Jewish and Muslims to convert to Christianity. Those who refused were ultimately expelled from Spain. Later, the role of the Spanish Inquistion widened.
