The Inquisition by Fernando Cervantes

CTS Concise Histories series. The Inquisition has become a byword for persecution and intolerance, and is often given as a reason for distrusting the Catholic Church. This booklet looks at what led up to this most controversial chapter in the Church’s history, what really happened during it, and what changes of perspective led to Pope John Paul’s famous ‘apology’ in 1997.
