Actually, it was the Hitlerys, Dassholes, and Little Dicks that were running the Inquisition. From what I've read, the murderous excesses of the Inquisition were committed by state interests, killing off political opponents and rabble-rousers. They used the moral authority of the Church (for there was no separation of church and state in those days) to legitimize their lust for power. Kind of like the way Slick Willie was always seen in black churches around DC ;-)

The Church was culpable in that the popes knew this was going on, but didn't do much to discourage or put a stop to it.

You need to read a little history. This is a brief history of the Inqusition The Spanish Inqusition involved the forced exile of several hundred thousand jews, the torture, and burning at the stake of vast numbers of jews,and jewish children over the age of 6 being taken from their parents and given to christian families to be raised as christians
