illuminati related: The Inquisition and the Illuminati - news documentary UPDATED Brown's character Robert Langdon in Angels and Demons speaks of "the Catholic purges". The Inquisition was Medieval Catholicism's attempt to halt the advance of heresy within the territories controlled by the Church through the use of ecclesiastical authority and political power. Led by a special tribunal, the Inquisition was established in the Middle Ages to discover and to punish heretics and those guilty of offenses against the Roman Catholic Church. The Latin word Inquisition means an inquiry. To stop the threatening advance of heretical groups, the church sought the help of the European political authorities. Each of the great countries of medieval Christendom-England, France, Italy, Germany, Bohemia, the Balkan States and Spain-cooperated with the coercive activities of the Inquisition. With the princes' support, physical penalties became regular tools of the Inquisitors. Pope Alexander III in 1163 called for the princes to pursue heretics by imprisonment, and confiscation of their property. He ordered the bishops to actively search out heretics, not just passively to wait for accusers of heretics to identify them to church officials. This more vigorous method in which the judge took the initiative was called the "inquiry" or in Latin, the Inquisition. The Inquisition proved most effective in neutralizing or even exterminating viewpoints that were deemed contrary and harmful to Roman Catholic orthodoxy. The Inquisition was eventually extended to control and punish Jews, sorcerers and magic which were viewed as various shades of heresy.
