Inquisition
The Spanish Inquisition was primarily under the control of the Spanish monarchy, specifically King Ferdinand II of Aragon and Queen Isabella I of Castile, who established it in 1478. While the Pope had some influence, particularly in granting the initial authority to the Inquisition, the Spanish monarchs maintained significant autonomy and used the institution to consolidate power, enforce religious uniformity, and strengthen their rule. Thus, the kings had more practical control over the Inquisition than the Pope.
The Inquisition was established by the Catholic Church in the 12th century, primarily to combat heresy. The most notable early form was the Medieval Inquisition, initiated around 1184 under Pope Lucius III. Later, the Roman Inquisition was formally established in 1542 by Pope Paul III to address Protestant reformers and other perceived threats to Catholic doctrine. The Inquisition aimed to maintain religious orthodoxy and often involved trials and severe penalties for those deemed heretical.
The Holy Inquisition helped the Catholic Church by protecting her from her enemies that wanted nothing more than to destroy her. However, it was not established by the Church but by the Spanish Government.
The Spanish Inquisition is an organization of priests that looked for and punished anyone in Spain that were practicing their old religion
The original Papal inquisition was set up to find heretics. The Spanish Inquisition was originally established to sniff out 'insincere converts' from Judaism, and later extended its scope to include 'insincere converts' from Islam. By about 1600 something like 20% of all those in trouble with the Spanish Inquisition were being 'investigated' for allegedly 'insulting the Inquisition', failing to respect the Inquisition and so on.
The Inquisition was established in 1478 at the behest of Queen Isabella I and focused heavily on Jews.

The Spanish Inquisition was primarily located in Spain, with headquarters in cities such as Seville, Toledo, and Madrid. It was established by the Spanish monarchy in the late 15th century to maintain religious orthodoxy and root out heresy among the population.
The Portuguese Inquisition was a judicial institution established in Portugal in the 16th century to enforce Catholic orthodoxy. It targeted individuals deemed heretics, including Jews and Muslims, resulting in persecution, forced conversions, and sometimes executions. The Inquisition continued until the early 19th century.
