Inquisition Even thought the idea of Protestantism was spreading quickly throughout Europe, the Catholic Church was not pleased Even though the Catholic Church made an effort to reform (think of the Council of Trent), it wasn’t enough. Protestantism continued to spread

In an effort to combat Protestantism, the Catholic Church creates the Inquisition The purpose of the Inquisition was to find heretics, and convert them back to Catholicism

The most famous inquisitions were in Spain in 1492 against Muslims and Jews, and in England under Queen Mary I (also known as Bloody Mary) in 1555
