Generally speaking, yes. The Spanish Inquisition was a government institution in Spain that lasted from 1492 to 1836 and was therefore deemed desirable. It's purpose was to keep Spanish faith in Catholicism proper and pure and most Spaniards believed that Catholicism was the only way for any soul to be saved. Therefore preventing souls from being corrupted by the "falsities" of Jewish or Islamic teaching (and later Protestant teaching) was making the salvation of souls easier.

It is important to note that most modern Spaniards find the idea of the Spanish Inquisition revolting and a blight upon their past.
