The prime purpose was to enhance the power of the monarchy, and of the Roman Catholic Church in Spain, by requiring that Catholics were loyal to the faith. As a political program, it led to confiscations and the torture of alleged heretics, and eventually to the expulsion of non-Catholics from Spain.
In 15th century Spain, Jews and Muslims were able to avoid legal restrictions and cultural bias by converting to Catholicism. Many still covertly practiced their former faiths, and might therefore be considered disloyal to the crown. The Spanish rulers extended a form of the Papal Inquisition of medieval times, which punished those who opposed certain Church doctrines. Suspected heretics were often tortured until they publicly "confessed" (the auto-da-fé) and were then cruelly executed.
