Cervantes, Fernando
How to understand the Inquisition
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 Churchs history, what really happened during it, and what changes of perspective led to Pope John Pauls famous apology in 1997.
Reviews
"A superb corrective to the continuing popularity of the ‘Black Legend’, drawing on Dr Cervantes’ own work and also the expertise of Henry Kamen, the leading anglophone historian of the Spanish Inquisition. " - Fr. Neil Ferguson OP, Scotland
