Tomás de Torquemada’s name has become synonymous with cruelty, religious intolerance, and fanaticism, was a God-fearing masochistic, mental deranged psychopathic prior. Whose obedience to his popes, Sixtus IV (1471-84); Innocent VIII (1484-92); and Alexander IV (1492-1503), and his masters, Queen Isabela of Castile, and King Ferdinand of Aragon, know no bounds.
The so-call Spanish Inquisition began in 1481, and ended in 1834, with more than 32,000 so-called heretics dead. However, in 1811 Napoleon Bonaparte abolished the Spanish Inquisition, but after his defeat in 1814, King Ferdinand VII of Spain (1784–1833) (r. 1808; 1813–1833) re-established the inquisition, but by the early 1830s the Spanish had lost interest. The inquisition turned out to be disastrous for Spain. Prior to the Spanish Inquisition, many of the Spanish Jews were very wealthy and influential members of the community. They belonged to the upper-middle class. As those Jews began to flee the Spanish kingdoms, Spain was deprived of those resources. As a result, the kingdom began to lag behind, economically, socially and technologically, to the rest of Europe. https://worldhistoryedu.com/spanish-inquisition-meaning-torture-methods-deaths-shocking-facts/.
The papacy was also doomed, its lands seized, and by 1870 the Papal States were no more, its people saved from more than a millennium of serfdom, and religious tyranny. No more gallows in evert city, town, and village, the Papal citizens were free to read what they wanted as new Italian citizens. Who saw modern technology come to them, such as trains, newspapers, and street lighting! What do you say?
