The Inquisition's New Target

The tribunal raised to root out heresy has, until now, occupied itself with matters far from the aljamas. That is changing. Whispers reach our Ruler Title's council daily of New Christian households in our towns who cross themselves in public and light candles behind shuttered windows, and the tribunal's inquisitors are eager for a mandate to look closer at what those households do once the street outside has gone quiet.

historical_info = d009_sephardi_catastrophe.4.historical_info The Spanish Inquisition was established by papal bull in 1478 specifically to investigate conversos suspected of secretly continuing Jewish practice. Its founding purpose, unlike the earlier medieval inquisitions, was almost entirely about policing the converted population rather than combating heresy among lifelong Christians. Tomás de Torquemada, its most notorious early Inquisitor General, oversaw a dramatic expansion of exactly this kind of investigation in the 1480s.
