Catholic AnswerAs mentioned above, the Inquisition was started to fight against heretics and persecute heresy, there were three major Inquisitions, starting in 12 century France against the Cathars. All three Inquisitions were mainly run by the local governments, they were not primarily against heresy as they were against people who were against the local government. In all three cases, those who were working against the government were cloaking their activities under cover of the Church, so the Inquisition used that as their tool to uncover un-patriotic activity. For most of the centuries before the protestant revolt the government was Catholic and the traitors were not, medieval society was an entirely different creature than modern society and not well understood by people raised and educated since the "Enlightenment".
