The two most famous investigations by the Roman inquisition were Copernicus theory that the sun did not move and that earth rotated around the sun and Galileo Galiei's work which supported Copernicus' theory. Copernicus' first proposition was judged as being formally heretical and the second as at least erroneous in faith. His book was put on the index of forbidden books. Galileo's work was judged as being vehemently suspect of heresy. His book was banned.
Originally, the the Inquisition was established in order to suppress heresy. (The Catholic Church in the the Middle Ages and later was generally not very tolerant of diversity on matters of doctrine). Later, in 1478 Spain was allowed to set up its own 'national' Inquisition. Initially, its main function was to detect insincere converts from Judaism and Islam. (Spain offered its Jewish and Islamic population the choice between explusion and conversion to Christianity: hence the problem).
the grand jury, at least thats what my world civ teacher said
Ignatius of Loyola founded the Society of Jesus (Jesuits) in 1534, which played a crucial role in the Catholic Counter-Reformation by promoting education, missionary work, and loyalty to the papacy. Pope Paul III, who reigned from 1534 to 1549, initiated reforms within the Church, convened the Council of Trent, and recognized the Jesuits, bolstering the Catholic response to Protestantism. Pope Paul IV, who followed from 1555 to 1559, took a more hardline approach against Protestantism, enforcing the Index of Forbidden Books and strengthening the Inquisition to combat heresy. Together, these figures shaped the Catholic Church's response to the challenges posed by the Protestant Reformation.
The restriction on science in the Middle Ages came from the universities and professors, who wanted to teach strict conformance to Aristotelian science. In essence, this meant Aristotle was infallible. From the point of view real science, this was a problem because it meant progress was impossible. The Church was not happy with this for a number of reasons. While its position on Islamic science had been neutral because Islamic science had no theological implications and was useful, the idea that Aristotle was infallible did not sit well on theologians. The Church took action to free science from the restrictions imposed by the universities with the Condemnations of 1210 to 1277, which made the teaching that Aristotle was infallible a heresy. There have been historians who called the Condemnations of 1277 the birth of modern science. See links provided below.

The Inquisition

This included, but was not limited to, the teachings of Martin Luther and anybody who followed such teachings.
