The Inquisition (Latin inquirere, to look to) is an eight hundred year old Roman Catholic tool, ceremony and institution dedicated to evil.
  While the Inquisition is in one instance an ecclesiastical tribunal, an institution of the Vatican, a series of historical movements -- its first and primary purpose was and has always been for the punishment and suppressing of heresy and elimination of infidels lawfully.
  In the simplest of definitions concerning the Inquisition, a "heretic" is any person who essentially believes in the sacred scriptures of Christianity but refuses to yield to the "absolute temporal power and moral authority" of the Pope. An infidel is anyone who does not believe in the Christian philosophy.
  As the Inquisition has never been disbanded, nor its rules struck out, it remains the only example of lawful human sacrifice in the world today. The last time the legal framework of the (Holy) Inquisition was used was in 1940-1945 with the sacrifice of over eighteen million innocent Orthodox Christians, Protestants, ethnic Jews and other minorities by the Catholic Dictators loyal to the Vatican.
  As an Inquisition is technically lawful, the sacrifice of millions of people by burning them alive in ovens cannot be "legally" considered murder. This is one of the major reasons no Pope, Cardinal or Jesuit priest has ever been held accountable for the evils they unleashed in World War II.
  Background
  By the beginning of the "Great Middle Ages Warming Period" in the 1100's, the political and religious landscape also began to heat up. Out of the darkness rose voices calling for greater rights for individuals, for an end to the bonded Catholic slavery of serfdom.
  The key driver of this change was the re-emergence of education along with trade that began to fill European cities and noble courts with all sorts of new ideas. As a result, Popes such as Pope Lucius III (1181-1185) experienced a reign of turmoil against increasingly emboldened royal families against the "Holy Mother Church".
  The double edged sword of granting letters patent to noble families to rule certain countries was that these Kings, Queens and Emperors had in turn started to develop their own public and private laws. The legal might of the Catholic Church was being tested.
  Contrary to the revisionist historians who support the Papal view of the world, the practice of human sacrifice by public execution dropped dramatically through the 1100's. The risk to the Church if ever nations rose up and forbid state sanctioned murder and denounced the Vatican's forgeries of claims over temporal and moral authority would be nothing short of the collapse of the Catholic Church.
  The Inquisition was a thoroughly evil legal mechanism designed to protect the claimed temporal and moral authority of the Catholic Church by taking advantage of the statutes of Emperor Justinian (from which we get the word "Justice) that legally placed the church "above" the laws of civilized society. Thus ecclesiastical law- the laws of the church became extremely important as technically they were legally the "first" laws of the world.
  The Inquisition and legal human sacrifice
  While Pope Lucius III was the first to establish the Inquisition through papal bull Ad Abolendam, as the legal and moral framework for human sacrifice and barbaric torture of innocent people, it was Pope Innocent III (1198-1216) who put it into full effect. The key elements being: The Laws of the Church, The Inquisitor, The Accused, The Act (or Offence), The Tribunal and The Witness.
  The Inquisitor, strictly speaking, was a special but permanent judge, acting in the name of the Pope and clothed by him with the right and the duty to deal legally with offences against the Faith adhering to the canon laws of the Church. Thus, within the spectrum of enforcing Church Law, the Inquisitor had (and still has) the legal power over life or death of the accused.
  Next, the Accused was to be summonsed to appear before the Inquisitor. The Accused does not actually have to be charged with any crime of heresy at this point -- once their name is written down on a piece of paper and the individual acknowledged themselves to be that person, they ceased legally being a person and instead became both a legal personality and property. Just the simple act of acknowledging themselves to be who they are in front of the Inquisitor was enough for him to legally have complete control over their destiny.
  Charges could then be drafted later, if required. But more often than not, the person would be tortured until some kind of confession of some crime was obtained -- in later centuries most notably the ficticious tales of witches and magic- promoted by the church and then used to snare innocent people of intelligence.
  The Spanish Inquisition - The condemnation of souls
  The Inquisitions took an added evil dimension under the Spanish Inquisitions two centuries after Pope Innocent, with the introduction of the public ritual of cursing/damning the souls being sacrificed by repeating their names, their crimes and the ritual of exorcism.
  Far from being a misguided Christian act, this ritual was the very deliberate embodiment of Necromancy and black magic in the control of the souls of recently departed by condemning them to eternal service to the priests and church.
  The largest example of the Catholic Church ever condemning souls to itself in this manner was the eighteen million sacrificed in Catholic sacrifice camps during World War II.
