How did the Inquisition change the Church?

Roman Catholic AnswerThere is no "the Inquisition", there were several over maybe eight centuries. Most contemporary people when asking about "the" inquisition are referring to the Spanish Inquisition which was set up by King Gerdinand and Queen Isabella in 1478, and approved by Pope Sixtus IV. It was directed against lapsed converts from Judaism, crypto-Jews, and other apostates whose secret activities were dangerous to Church and State. I do not think the Inquistion changed the Church as it was basically set up to deal with apostates.


Why do you think the catholic church objected to the galileos theories so strongly?

He was charged with heresy, a serious crime in those days, for contradicting the church's belief that the Earth is at the centre of the Universe. The church said that if there was proof of this idea, they would have to have a rethink. But in court Galileo could produce no proof and he recanted. But later in the 17th century after Galileo's lifetime scientific discoveries led everyone to accept that the Sun is at the centre of the solar system (but not the Universe).
