The Encyclopedia Brittanica says 32000 were killed under the Spanish Inquisition, which is emphatically untrue. Scholarship based on actual archives of Inquisition activities in Spanish jurisdiction, the actual records of events, show a the far smaller figure.

If you want to move the goal posts from the Inquisition to "Catholics in Spain" then I can almost assure you that the number of people executed far exceeds 32k. Pope Frankie will would no doubt applaud your aversion to the death penalty.

In the wider context of European affairs of the perios, with the standard practices of torture and general brutality by all parties, Protestants and Catholics alike, the 30 Years War in which 8 million on all sides died, in which entire populations in the new world were enslaved...To harp on Civil and Ecclesiastic proceedings in Spain which varied not in theleas from similar proceedings in other countries, is transparently disingenuous.

I'll let the competing scholars battle it out. Brittanica has no axe to grind that I can see.

But I never made that point. You are not a mindreader, so please do not label me as disingenuous. I am not.
