During the time of the Reformation, the Inquisition was a series of institutions within the Catholic Church aimed at combating heresy. It involved the systematic interrogation, punishment, and suppression of individuals believed to be deviating from Catholic doctrine. The Inquisition was a tool used to maintain religious conformity and authority within the Church.
The Inquisition was in Spain only. The English did have their own religious purge in the Reformation. Many Catholics were put in prison, killed, and tortured in that time.

Spain was strongly opposed to the Protestant Reformation. King Philip II and the Spanish Inquisition worked to suppress any spread of Protestant ideas in their territories. They viewed the Reformation as a threat to their authority and saw it as heretical.
To enforce Catholicism in Spain and in Spanish territories. Torture was considered legitimate by the inquisitors. As under the Soviets, everyone was afraid of informers. Many thousands were tortured and killed. My colleague adds: The formation of the Jesuits and the following inquisition was a Catholic response to the Protestant Reformation. Sometimes this response is called the counter-reformation.
The Catholic Counter-Reformation resulted in: increase in missionary efforts, Council of Trent reforms, strengthening of the Inquisition. It did not lead to the abolition of the printing press.
The Inquisition focused on combating heresy and suppressing dissent within the Catholic Church, often through harsh measures. The Jesuits, on the other hand, aimed to spread Catholicism through education and missionary work, emphasizing spiritual and intellectual growth. The Counter-Reformation sought to revitalize and reform the Catholic Church in response to the Protestant Reformation, addressing widespread corruption and implementing doctrinal changes.
Galileo Galilei was the astronomer who was imprisoned by the church during the Counter-Reformation. He was tried by the Roman Inquisition in 1633 for advocating the heliocentric model of the solar system.
The Inquisition lasted from 1478 to 1834 which means it lasted 356 years. a looong time
