you need to get your facts checked. the inquisition was held by the spanish government against suspected people who were accused of helping the moors, who had just been kicked out of spain. the most accurate number of people put to death by the state was 252. note not tens of thousands.
you would also be advised to see about how many Catholics were put to death in England by their king—circa 50,000 in number. why no out cry against that butchery?

Thank you for your clarification. Noting annoys me more than the spread of misinformation about the Church. It is just unreal sometimes the lengths people will go to.

I recently watch the Showtime series, "The Tudors" and was reminded again of the barbarism of Henry VIII and of the times. To think that the deaths of all those Catholics and Reformers were started when Henry got the urge to bed a woman not his wife.
