Characters
of the Inquisition
by William Walsh
Book Description: This famous historian has laid to rest the standard
myths accepted by most people today. For example, the lie that the Inquisition
was ruthless and unjust, that it sent thousands to merciless torture and
undeserved death, and that it was administered by unbalanced and sinister
minds. To settle this matter and to set forth the facts about the Inquisition,
the author has drawn for us a detailed historical sketch of six prominent
Inquisitors - "Characters of the Inquisition," as he calls them - and in
the process has explained for the modern reader the background of the Inquisition,
how it operated and the major historical lines of its progress. Within
these pages the reader will see history unfold before his eyes in a manner
refreshingly truthful and well substantiated, and in the process, he will
witness the Catholic Church being vindicated of the mendacious claims laid
against her by her enemies. Important knowledge to defend the Church

really went on during the Spanish Inquisition, one of the most inhumane
periods in history. The sequel to Caligula: Divine Carnage.

The
Spanish Inquisition : A Historical Revision
by Henry Arthur Francis Kamen
Mention the Spanish Inquisition and immediately thoughts of brutal
torture and callous witch-hunts spring to mind. Popular belief holds up
this infamous institution as a symbol of religious and political intolerance--against
the Protestants, Jews, Catholic heretics, and political orders such as
the Knights Templar. Yet when Henry Kamen first wrote The Spanish Inquisition
in 1965, he argued that the Inquisition was not as powerful or cruel as
commonly conceived. This updated version of Kamen's hypothesis continues
and reaffirms his original arguments. In this edition, Kamen provides additional
evidence derived mostly from monographic studies conducted by other scholars
that separates myth from reality; Kamen suggests that the Inquisition did
not enjoy widespread popularity, in Spain or the rest of Europe, and that
it was used as a device to scare off enemies. He also concludes that the
failure of the Spanish populace to accept Lutheran principles had more
to do with popular indifference toward Protestantism than interference
from the Inquisition. Though Kamen's book is occasionally lacking in social
analysis, this revisionist overview of the Inquisition's impact on Europe
is rich in detail and will appeal to anyone who has an interest in this
period. Amazon.com
