Inquisition: church
court to punish
Protestant heretics
The Inquisition was run by the inquisitor-general, who established
local courts of the Inquisition. Accused heretics were identified by
the general population and brought before the tribunal. They were
given a chance to confess their heresy against the Catholic Church
and were also encouraged to indict other heretics.
If they admitted their wrongs
and turned in other
aggressors against the church
they were either released or
sentenced to a prison penalty.
If they would not admit their
heresy or indict others the
accused were publicly
introduced in a large
ceremony before they were
publicly executed.
