the Spanish inquisition.
The Roman Inquisition, established in 1542, primarily focused on addressing heresy within the Catholic Church, particularly in Italy, and was characterized by its centralized authority under the Pope. In contrast, the Spanish Inquisition, initiated in 1478, sought to enforce Catholic orthodoxy in Spain and targeted conversos (converted Jews) and other perceived threats to religious unity. While both inquisitions aimed to combat heresy, the Spanish Inquisition was more politically motivated, often intertwining with national identity and governance, whereas the Roman Inquisition was more theological and ecclesiastical in nature. Additionally, the Spanish Inquisition was known for its severe methods and broader societal impact across the Spanish Empire.
