Inquisition Law

inquisition_law

Originally established to combat the heresy of Catharism, the Inquisition has become the Catholic Church's primary tool for investigating and prosecuting heresy. Via specialized ecclesiastical courts, trained inquisitors investigate potential heretics, extract confessions of religious or moral transgression, and impose punishments ranging from penance to execution, for violating Catholic mores.
