Galileo Galilei was tried by the Inquisition for his views on geocentricism. He believed in heliocentrism instead of geocentricism. This viewpoint was in direct opposition to the scriptures. For this, he was tried by the Roman Inquisition in 1615.
The Spanish Inquisition was set up in 1478 and lasted till 1834. It was active throughout the Spanish Empire as well as in Spain.
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 gradually came to an end over several centuries, primarily due to changing political, social, and religious contexts. By the 18th century, Enlightenment ideas promoting individual rights and skepticism towards religious authority led to a decline in the Inquisition's influence. The formal abolition of the Spanish Inquisition occurred in 1834, and the Roman Inquisition was effectively rendered inactive in the 19th century as secular governments gained power and prioritized civil liberties. Ultimately, the Inquisition's decline reflected broader shifts towards modernity and secularism in Europe.
Girolamo Savonarola was an Italian Dominican friar and preacher known for his vehement opposition to corruption in the Church and the secularization of society in Renaissance Florence. While he himself was not an official member of the Inquisition, his fiery sermons against sin and moral decay attracted the attention of the Church. His influence and radical views ultimately led to his excommunication in 1497, and he was later tried by the Inquisition for heresy, resulting in his execution in 1498. Savonarola's connection to the Inquisition highlights the tension between reformist zeal and the established Church's authority during that period.
The following link explains Savanarola's impact on the lives on many, by destroying what he viewed as 'earthly pleasures' and burned them in 'bonfires of the vanities'. His impact was great on Renaissance art. For more information,, I would check out the website.
