inquisición - inquisition

An organization within the Roman Catholic Church which was responsible for the elimination of heretics. They were the final court of appeal for those charged with heresy. Those who could be proven to be heretics were turned over to the civil authority for execution. This arm of the church was created in 1542 as the "Sacred Congregation of the Universal Inquisition." It went through two name changes, being called the "Congregatio pro Doctrina Fidei" (Sacred Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith) in 1965. "Sacred" was dropped in 1983. It was headed by Cardinal Josef Ratzinger until his election as pope in 2005.

On the first picture depicted Galileo before inquisition.
