As much as the current state of censorship and persecution is appalling, as a Sephardic who descends on all known sides from Sephardic ancestors who were kicked out of Spain and Portugal, I assure you it's nothing but ignorance to compare the two, if not plain, insulting deminishment of the Inquisition. It's not the same to be burned at stake, tortured, kicked out of your country with no property than kicked out of Facebook or even "cancelled". It's insulting to even compare the two.

It still has an impact. My Italian grandfather told my mother, " How can I respect a church that burned Giordano Bruno at the stake under the Roman Inquisition.

The Monument to Giordano Bruno, created by Ettore Ferrari, was erected in 1889 at Campo de' Fiori square in Rome, Italy, to commemorate the Italian philosopher Giordano Bruno, who was burned there in 1600. Since its inception the idea of a monument dedicated to the executed heretic located in Rome, once the capital of the Papal States, has generated controversy between anti-clerical and those more aligned with the Roman Catholic church.

1492, the Portuguese spy is granted three ships by the King of Spain for the express purpose of finding somewhere across the sea to deposit the Spanish Jews. I feel like I am the only person who noticed since then. Columbus was not Italian and in fact that was not even his name.
@@FORGOTTENHISTORYCHANNEL his real name is Salvador Fernandes Zarco, and he was a spy, definitely for the Spanish conquistadors, probably against and for the Italians in different circumstances, and mostly for the Portuguese, who were able to discover the new world where they eventually sold millions of Africans, Irish, and first nations Americans without risking anything but a spy or spending anything but time.
Women whose husband dies was really at risk. The State gets 1/3, to the church 1/3 and the Inquisitor gets 1/3 of the property when they find a woman guilty of heresay or witchcraft.
I suggest a video on Elizabethan England where simply for saying services a priest could be put to death and where monastery property was stolen and monks and nuns murdered simply because they were greedy and could get away with it. I didn't see it on your list.
The Spanish Inquisition ex3cuted no more than 3000 people (in the worst of the scenarios); that number of 32000 is an extreme over calculation. BTW, Rodney Stark is Dr. by Berkeley an has an extensive work about the numbers of people punished by the Inquisition where he researches primary sources instead using calculations given by british or dutch "historians" of the time (needless to say that as enemies of Spain as they were back then their objectivity is questionable) and his work is high recomendable.
Yes, the Protestant nations and their leadership had an ax to grind, as propaganda was valuable, like today. Many of those deaths were probably also due to disease as well as those killed during the Reconquista, but it did last 360 years. Thanks for watching.

This sounds about like how modern law is enforced. You get accused by a policy officer and immediately thrown in jail without trial. Then you either sit in jail for months awaiting trial or you sell yourself into bondage to get out of jail until you make a plea deal or go to trial. As the courts, the accuser, and all the lawyers are actually on the same team, you are pretty much screwed unless you are wealthy and influential, in which case they will often not file charges or will drop the charges. The charges themselves are often for victimless "crimes" in which no one was harmed.
The truth about the Spanish Inquisition is that it was the most recent and longest lasting compared to the rest of Europe, but that does not take away one thing, the Spanish Inquisition killed much fewer people than England, Germany, France or the Netherlands. The Spanish have to carry that stigma since it was one of the least deadly inquisitions; As a curious fact, the natives of America were exempt from being prosecuted by the inquisition and the almost 100 murders in America by the inquisition were to Spaniards.
Ya think?! Inquisitors got really creative in inventing new toys of torture. And remember, .certain Catholic religious orders required that their priests and brothers expiated their own sins by falling to their knees from the back of the church and crawling on their knees towards the altar, all the while flailing a branch of thorns, hard, against their barebacks until it bled. You see they got off on it themselves. Altar’d State.

A long time ago, I started reading a book in Spanish about the Inquisition and had to stop. It was so horrible. I remember thinking that I couldn’t do what they did to a bug, much less my fellow human being. I was on track for a medical career until I was called on to assist in a neonatal circumcision. Again, that baby’s screaming haunts me to this day, and back then all residents were required to perform three. I’ll never understand how we do what we do to our own species.

Mao Tse Tung received an education at the Yale School of Divinity in China where he joined its fraternal organization. The behavior of the Red Guards was patterned after the Inquisition.
None of these "religious" men followed the Commandment or Gospel to Love your fellow man and personal humility, humbleness. This was a brutal time in history.
This sounds a lot like a book I read by DC Talk. Voice of the martyrs. In the book were several stories about communist Russia and how people would accuse other people of being an enemy sympathizer and they would not get to face their accusers but they would be subject to torture in some of the most inhumane ways I've ever read.
I had always wondered if the severity of the Spanish Inquisition was an equal and opposite reaction to the oppression of the Moors. Frederick Bastiat has written that the oppressed often reverse the oppression once they gain power over their former oppressors. Whatever the reason, I think that much of the inquisition revolved around nobles or ecclesiastical leaders trying to enrich themselves with land, coin, or release from debt.

Yup. Will to power disguised behind God’s Word. The Eastern part of Rome, the pre-Catholic Church was destroyed by Catholic 4th crusade in 1204….horror.
Moors wete liberators for the majority of serfdoom in Spain. The Gothic gentry (noblemen) had almost everybody of latin descent under serfdom and servitude. Once you converted to Islam you won't pay any tax (only infidels payed) So for most of Spaniards the Moors were his liberators from Gothic exploitation. With the reconquista that quasi-slavery returned again. Nobility and King of Spain became again the wealth extractors of his subdits. So no, it was not revenge. Moors crushed Goth armys and Church power but created a less feudal kind of society. And i'm a Spaniard speaking from Spain. I know i'm speaking about.
Very good. I appreciate the details without getting bogged down. As previously implied, it is interesting how humans seem not to learn from the dark parts of history. Today it is a movement just to ignore the facts and change the narratave.

During World War 2, Vidkun Quisling was a Norwegian military officer & politician who collaborated with the Germans during their occupation of Norway. To this day, the word "Quisling" is used to describe a traitor who collaborates with an enemy force occupying their country. In the case of the 700 years of moorish Islamic North African conquest and occupation of the sovereign lands of Spain, the jews were the Quislings. And I can completely understand why jews & muslims were persecuted after the indigenous Spanish people finally liberated their homelands from the invading occupying moorish forces and their shameful traitorous collaborators. Viva la Reconquista!!!

Breaking news from the kingdom of Castile: The brother Tomás de Torquemada was of Jewish descent, from a family of "conversos". That is the origin of the saying: Be afraid of the faith of the converted. (Because of his extremism). He felt some kind of inferiority complex and tried to balance it bullying others.
All through human history and all the more evident today, people over and over again have willingly submitted to and allowed themselves to be abused, imprisoned, tortured, and murdered. And what's worse, is Why, , why do the people never seem to do anything about it ? It is frightening that people are unwilling to acknowledge that people in authority are clearly mentally ill. Obviously, this arrangement supports other even more deeply entrenched illness.
Yes and I see this in Russia as their people are unwilling to stop the deaths of their young men conscripted to satisfy Putin's invasion of Ukraine. Their fear of punishment and their lack of bravery against Putin is really sad and of course Ukraine has suffered as a result.

Around 1960 in this Burbank library I found an Encyclopedia of Witchcraft. It quoted a Spanish Inquisition document listing allowable expenses for executioners that were a lot like Lockheed expense report forms. Prices for thumbscrew, rope for hanging, mileage and per diem. No Xerox yet or I would have copied it
The pilgrims that came to America had considered landing in South America where the climate was a perpetual summer and the ability to grow food would be relatively easy. But, having fled oppression in England, they knew they wanted to be as far away from Spanish oppression as possible.
While many of the actions and methods of the inquisitions were unfair, unreasonable or even unjust, being the victim of unjustified violence is only harmful to the body. Whereas Protestantism has doomed untold millions of souls to everlasting damnation, which makes it objectively far more sinister.
It is so nice to hear the TRUTH of history, because you know we didn't hear it in school, or study the topics we should have studied!! I greatly enjoy all of your videos and hope to see a lot more in the future.
This history lesson is mostly bovine excrement. The Inquisition was so lenient that prisoners of the state did things such as blasphemy so that they could get sent to the Inquisition's prison because the treatment was so much better.
So, I guess that of the 32000 executed that were mentioned in the begining only about 2000 were done by the Spansh Inquisition. That tells a lot about the rest of Europe. Good you did not mention the Iron Maidern.
Are you going to cover Oliver Cromwell’s Puritan crusade vs. the Irish Catholics next, where the estimated numbers murdered (10,000) are not deemed by historians to be gross exaggeration put forth by Protestant propagandists of the time?
No need to. First of all, the "horrors" were a result of the monarchs hijacking a process designed only to find heretics, correct their false teachings, and then excommunicate if they don't. Inquisition has been a part of Christianity since Acts of The Apostles. As clumsy as this video is (showing torture implementation that was highly propagandized by Spanish enemies) it at least talks about how Pope's Sixtus and Alexander tried to curb the violence.
The technology and points of contention have changed but the behavioral patterns and social mechanics are exactly the same. Anyone else draw an uncomfortable number of parallels?
Remember, the people in charge of writing history books in the 1700's were anti Christians who considered themselves intellectuals. The number giving saying there were 32,000 persecuted by the inquisition while accepted, is clearly not correct. See all this was recorded and after the actual numbers of people subjected to the inquisition were in the hundreds not the thousands. So this guy is going by what the history books say. He is actually one of the better historians out there. The problem is the history books had been changed and distorted by anti-Christian zealots. For example they Columbus thought he would fall off the side of the earth. That has been proven false, it was made up by college professors to make Christians look stupid. There is no evidence that Galileo was under house arrest from the Catholic Church. The first time that is brought up is more than 100 years after Galileo died. Spain had everything to do with the inquisition, which began closer to 1490, so the video is off at least 100 years on the history. What you need to understand is that the Moors took over Spain in 711 with the help of the Jews. The Moors were very brutal to the Spaniards for more than 700 years. So when the Spaniards got their country back, they were very legitimately told the Jews and Muslims to leave. By then the Muslims have been attacking people, and to stop the attacks people simply needed to convert to Islam. So people started pretending they were converting. The Muslims and Jews in Spain in the late 1400's (1490 circa de) were ordered to leave or convert. Many of them just pretended. So why should you listen to my version of history. I did not read history books, I am descended from a Spanish Jew who went to England. I went back in and read translations of books and writings of people from the time period. The history books are distorted. The point is that people who did not like Christianity, painted the inquisition as some kind of unfair thing that Christians did. No it was the correct thing to do given the history of persecution the Christians had received.
The Spanish did not invent the Inquisition, they simply had their own version, but like in others, there were many especially nobles who used the occasion to take out personal vendettas, steal property, and thousands died as a result, whether or not it was an actual "inquisitor" who was involved.
Author Doreen Carvajal’s book, “ The Forgotten River” is a tremendous work in revealing the far reaching effects of the Inquisition in today’s Spain. The lingering cloud of social paranoia seems to remain among Spain’s populace.
In 400 years the Spanish Inquisition executed 3,200, not 32,000, the torture, if there was any, did not last more than 15 minutes and with a doctor present, they forgot to say that they did not recommend torturing because it was not possible to know if what they were saying was true or false and pregnant women and children were never tortured, during the witch hunts in Spain there were only 40 cases where the woman was executed as a witch out of about 200 complaints of witchcraft, in America the inquisition could not judge the indigenous people. The trials of the Spanish inquisition were the most guaranteeing of the time, even more than civil trials. This is just a superficial thing but come on, if you want to know more about Seville, which is where the main headquarters of the inquisition was, they have all the cases, complaints, and executions written down there in the library because they kept everything in writing and when I say everything is all

Bibi Netanyahu's father wrote a huge 1400-page book on The Origins of the Inquisition in Fifteenth-Century Spain. It's quite interesting, a much more complex story than most people understand, but it is a hell of a slog.
Torquamada himself was a converso. Well, ''power corrupts...'' I am a direct descendent of those expelled from Spain in 1492. Those Jews cursed Spain and Portugal for what they did as so many died and were murdered leaving the Iberian peninsula. Until today, those countries have not prospered very much. There is a very sinister evil to those who use religion and G0d to commit such crimes. What happened to the third commandment? G0d will not forgive one who uses religion to commit evil like murder.
Spain prospered immensely after the inquisition though, so I guess God was on their side for a hundred years after. Spain today is a multicultural hellscape
@@1994CPK of course they prospered right afterwards, look at all the property and wealth they had taken from all the ''heretics'' and the Jews could take nothing with them.
I'm sorry but these things don't happen in a vacuum, why were the common people so angry and distrustful of Spain's Jews and Muslims? I don't know if it's true, but people of the time prior the reconquista reported that Jews would open the city gates for invading Muslim armies as Jews expected better treatment and financial gain under Islamic rule rather than Christianity. This time period of Islamic invasion is when accusations of well poisoning started in Spain. One has to wonder how much these accusations were based in reality...they have to be based on something real. Medieval Jews were just as capable of doing bad things as medieval Christians or Muslims and it's hard to believe that all of the mistrust and accusations between the three religious communities were completely fabricated, to be fair.
@@1994CPK well Spain and Portugal prospered for several centuries with their overseas empires. today though Spain is a 4th rate country , one of the lowest GDPs in western Europe. they've opened their doors to the illegal migrants from Third World and are suffering for it. an indication of their failure is how Gibraltar is almost 100% for remaining British after 300 years ; why would the people of the Rock want to join Spain, an historically undemocratic and authoritarian country...?
@@BaltimoresBerzerker Jews, Muslims, yes and Christians are human beings with human frailties. In the beginning of the video, the inquisition was hitting on born Christians who had ideas that didn't comport with Church Doctrine. At that time, I don't think that ordinary Christians could or were allowed to read the Bible (we've come a long way). Let's not forget the Thirty Years War. These were Christians literally killing each other. Each one calling the other heretics. Look, it wasn't all peachy for the Jews under Muslim control. Around 1150, the Almohads invaded the Iberian peninsula, ransacked it, forcing everyone to convert to Islam or flee.
Please note: The Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith is still in full effect and can be reimplemented at any time, given the proper circumstances. Don't believe me, look it up; I did.
Nothing wrong with that. Heresy needs correction. Just keep it out of the hands of government officials wanting to hijack the process to gain an advantage in politics and power.
Thank you for this. I learned recently that i am an indirect descendant of Ferdinand and Isabella. I was less than thrilled. It is nice to descend from royalty, but THAT royalty? Um, wow, that is quite a lot to take in. I am grateful to live in a country that espouses freedom of religion; where church and stste are not joined at the hip; where we have a democratic republic, the vote, and free public primary and secondary education. These societal norms are essential safeguards against history repeating itself in the form of a religious inquisition, or a Salem Witchcraft Trial. Thank you so much, and God bless you.
There are many Catholics who prefer to read books written by scholars who have researched the subject, such as Henry Charles Lea or Henry Kamen, rather than believe in a sensationalist and biased video.
“Instilled fear for 400 years” “Resulting in some 32,000 executions” over the course of that entire time period… definitely overhyped. Yet it’s still extremely annoying coming from a society used to checks and balances, knowing how many corrupt individuals got away with spreading lies for personal gain.

I grew up with a saying that goes.. "No one is as committed to a cause, as is a convert." It's interesting to note that the most thorough, studied and incorruptible Inquisitor General during the Spanish Inquisition was Torquemada, himself a convert to Catholicism before he joined the Seminary. A converted awakened idealist has the strongest Faith and he had it. I learned this about the Spanish Inquisition when I was in college getting my degrees in Spanish language and culture (New World), and we spent a week on the Inquisition, topically, to round out things happening on the peninsula that was affecting the New World. Torquemada, a Muslim convert at 9-11 years old, gave and dedicated his life to the Catholic Church. As history shows, the hard line Catholic Church attitude then was confess and repent and become catholic, or be deemed a heretic and get roasted or get expelled. Of course, Torquemada actively sought out conversion, seemingly a lost soul looking for God. Besides, He wasn't under the threat of death to convert. Interesting twistsin history. Excellent research, thanks for this deep dive!
It's a reminder that fanaticism in any shape or form begets evil and have always been found to have some sort of unaddressed mental issue underpinning their so called "faith" and "zeal". Person mature in faith are secure. People like Torquemada and his whole caravan are anything but. Unfortunately, we still have no shortage of fanatics still today. Thank you for sharing that fact. I never knew that part of this history.
Also it should be understood that many times the Church was the ONLY authority that existed and people looked to her to solve their legal and social problems. There were people doing things that required a harsh solution. Society then didn't pamper its criminals the way we do. They took action. Not saying it was right, but you have to look at it in the context of the time, place, and attitude of the people. The people then, mainly all Christian, abhorred the thought that someone could actually worship the devil. So they certainly didn't object to what they saw as justice. The fact that a Papal Bull was issued indicated it to be a serious problem not a fabrication for political purposes. Even reading the Bull I see that they were attempting to reach the truth. Just because the Bull was written to solve a problem, doesn't automatically mean that the people who administered it were dishonest or evil people.
great primer, but missed a few points of relevancy- 1- During that time the mortality rate in Spanish prisons was about 50%, whereas in Inquisition prisons it was only about 10% so many prisoners committed or confessed to heresy to get transferred to Inquisition prisons 2- During the same time period, where according to your report almost 40k died were executed, in Protestant Europe, over 1/2 a million people were executed for witchcraft
Well, we all learned in School that in 1492 Columbus sailed the ocean blue and discovered America. What was not taught was where the money from the money-strapped King and queen of Spain came from. It came from money extorted from the Jews that were forced to leave Spain. They would wander and end up in all places Poland and what would later be called the Pale of Settlement established by Tsarina Ekaterina II The Great. It was just one of the many tribulations that the Jewish diaspora had to endure over the centuries from 79 AD to 1948 and the Reestablishment of the State of Israel. There was a really good documentary on the Spanish Inquisition done by the History Channel when the History Channel really did history. It's got to be 30 years ago now. They when into the archives of the Office of the Inquisition, it still exists. A lot of what is said about it is pure propaganda. Not that it was a good thing, It was no better or worst than when in England or the other European Nations at the time. It's a well-documented thing in Spain, they recorded everything and for a historian, it's a virtual gold mine of how people thought and acted and how the Idea of the rule of law came about. It's why our founding fathers wrote the Constitution of the United States the way they did, they were fully aware of this history. Then again we are only a country because of the Spice trade and that the Europeans wanted to cut the Muslims out of it. It's really all Ghengis Khans' fault.
Yeah im sure it's just a coincidence their expulsion coincides with the exact same year the Spanish "Golden Age" started. What about the other 108 times?

It still has an impact. My Italian grandfather told my mother, " How can I respect a church that burned Giordano Bruno at the stake under the Roman Inquisition.
Protestants persecuted witches and burn them even more than Catholics.. over 100,000 in northern Europe in the same period
So your grandfather wasn’t catholic?
@@ScotchIrishHoundsman He was baptized in Italy, and his children were raised Roman Catholic. He was probably anti-clerical.
I wonder why he respected Italy and called himself Italian after what happened to Bruno.
@@richardgreene6810 He was a supporter of Garibaldi. The Monument to Giordano Bruno, created by Ettore Ferrari, was erected in 1889 at Campo de' Fiori square in Rome, Italy, to commemorate the Italian philosopher Giordano Bruno, who was burned there in 1600. Since its inception the idea of a monument dedicated to the executed heretic located in Rome, once the capital of the Papal States, has generated controversy between anti-clerical and those more aligned with the Roman Catholic church.

1492, the Portuguese spy is granted three ships by the King of Spain for the express purpose of finding somewhere across the sea to deposit the Spanish Jews. I feel like I am the only person who noticed since then. Columbus was not Italian and in fact that was not even his name.

The debate is whether he was Italian or Portuguese, since he lived in Portugal.
@@FORGOTTENHISTORYCHANNEL his real name is Salvador Fernandes Zarco, and he was a spy, definitely for the Spanish conquistadors, probably against and for the Italians in different circumstances, and mostly for the Portuguese, who were able to discover the new world where they eventually sold millions of Africans, Irish, and first nations Americans without risking anything but a spy or spending anything but time.

Nice theory, but I understand that the Spanish did not allow converts to travel to America.

In fact, Queen Elizabeth I killed more people for religious reasons than did the Spanish Inquisition.
that may be a future show. Her father was pretty ruthless, as well as her sister. Thanks for watching.
The Spanish Inquisition ex3cuted no more than 3000 people (in the worst of the scenarios); that number of 32000 is an extreme over calculation.
BTW, Rodney Stark is Dr. by Berkeley an has an extensive work about the numbers of people punished by the Inquisition where he researches primary sources instead using calculations given by british or dutch "historians" of the time (needless to say that as enemies of Spain as they were back then their objectivity is questionable) and his work is high recomendable.
Yes, the Protestant nations and their leadership had an ax to grind, as propaganda was valuable, like today. Many of those deaths were probably also due to disease as well as those killed during the Reconquista, but it did last 360 years. Thanks for watching.

This sounds about like how modern law is enforced. You get accused by a policy officer and immediately thrown in jail without trial. Then you either sit in jail for months awaiting trial or you sell yourself into bondage to get out of jail until you make a plea deal or go to trial. As the courts, the accuser, and all the lawyers are actually on the same team, you are pretty much screwed unless you are wealthy and influential, in which case they will often not file charges or will drop the charges. The charges themselves are often for victimless "crimes" in which no one was harmed.

The truth about the Spanish Inquisition is that it was the most recent and longest lasting compared to the rest of Europe, but that does not take away one thing, the Spanish Inquisition killed much fewer people than England, Germany, France or the Netherlands.
The Spanish have to carry that stigma since it was one of the least deadly inquisitions; As a curious fact, the natives of America were exempt from being prosecuted by the inquisition and the almost 100 murders in America by the inquisition were to Spaniards.
Why torture for confession when you can just lie and say they confessed?
I think there's a little sadism going on here.
Ya think?! Inquisitors got really creative in inventing new toys of torture. And remember, .certain Catholic religious orders required that their priests and brothers expiated their own sins by falling to their knees from the back of the church and crawling on their knees towards the altar, all the while flailing a branch of thorns, hard, against their barebacks until it bled. You see they got off on it themselves. Altar’d State.

I had always wondered if the severity of the Spanish Inquisition was an equal and opposite reaction to the oppression of the Moors. Frederick Bastiat has written that the oppressed often reverse the oppression once they gain power over their former oppressors.
Whatever the reason, I think that much of the inquisition revolved around nobles or ecclesiastical leaders trying to enrich themselves with land, coin, or release from debt.

Yup. Will to power disguised behind God’s Word. The Eastern part of Rome, the pre-Catholic Church was destroyed by Catholic 4th crusade in 1204….horror.
Moors wete liberators for the majority of serfdoom in Spain. The Gothic gentry (noblemen) had almost everybody of latin descent under serfdom and servitude. Once you converted to Islam you won't pay any tax (only infidels payed) So for most of Spaniards the Moors were his liberators from Gothic exploitation. With the reconquista that quasi-slavery returned again. Nobility and King of Spain became again the wealth extractors of his subdits. So no, it was not revenge. Moors crushed Goth armys and Church power but created a less feudal kind of society. And i'm a Spaniard speaking from Spain. I know i'm speaking about.

During World War 2, Vidkun Quisling was a Norwegian military officer & politician who collaborated with the Germans during their occupation of Norway. To this day, the word "Quisling" is used to describe a traitor who collaborates with an enemy force occupying their country. In the case of the 700 years of moorish Islamic North African conquest and occupation of the sovereign lands of Spain, the jews were the Quislings.

No need to. First of all, the "horrors" were a result of the monarchs hijacking a process designed only to find heretics, correct their false teachings, and then excommunicate if they don't. Inquisition has been a part of Christianity since Acts of The Apostles.
As clumsy as this video is (showing torture implementation that was highly propagandized by Spanish enemies) it at least talks about how Pope's Sixtus and Alexander tried to curb the violence.
The technology and points of contention have changed but the behavioral patterns and social mechanics are exactly the same. Anyone else draw an uncomfortable number of parallels?
Good observation. Thanks for watching.
Yes, technology changes and hair styles and fashion but human nature never changes.
Remember, the people in charge of writing history books in the 1700's were anti Christians who considered themselves intellectuals. The number giving saying there were 32,000 persecuted by the inquisition while accepted, is clearly not correct. See all this was recorded and after the actual numbers of people subjected to the inquisition were in the hundreds not the thousands.
So this guy is going by what the history books say. He is actually one of the better historians out there. The problem is the history books had been changed and distorted by anti-Christian zealots. For example they Columbus thought he would fall off the side of the earth. That has been proven false, it was made up by college professors to make Christians look stupid.
There is no evidence that Galileo was under house arrest from the Catholic Church. The first time that is brought up is more than 100 years after Galileo died.
Spain had everything to do with the inquisition, which began closer to 1490, so the video is off at least 100 years on the history.
What you need to understand is that the Moors took over Spain in 711 with the help of the Jews. The Moors were very brutal to the Spaniards for more than 700 years. So when the Spaniards got their country back, they were very legitimately told the Jews and Muslims to leave. By then the Muslims have been attacking people, and to stop the attacks people simply needed to convert to Islam. So people started pretending they were converting. The Muslims and Jews in Spain in the late 1400's (1490 circa de) were ordered to leave or convert. Many of them just pretended.
So why should you listen to my version of history. I did not read history books, I am descended from a Spanish Jew who went to England. I went back in and read translations of books and writings of people from the time period. The history books are distorted.
The point is that people who did not like Christianity, painted the inquisition as some kind of unfair thing that Christians did. No it was the correct thing to do given the history of persecution the Christians had received.
The Spanish did not invent the Inquisition, they simply had their own version, but like in others, there were many especially nobles who used the occasion to take out personal vendettas, steal property, and thousands died as a result, whether or not it was an actual "inquisitor" who was involved.
Honestly we need another one
I just got a mental picture of someone getting beaten while being ordered to say “there are only two genders.”😂😂
Fantastically put together, greatly appreciated.
Author Doreen Carvajal’s book, “ The Forgotten River” is a tremendous work in revealing the far reaching effects of the Inquisition in today’s Spain. The lingering cloud of social paranoia seems to remain among Spain’s populace.
In 400 years the Spanish Inquisition executed 3,200, not 32,000, the torture, if there was any, did not last more than 15 minutes and with a doctor present, they forgot to say that they did not recommend torturing because it was not possible to know if what they were saying was true or false and pregnant women and children were never tortured, during the witch hunts in Spain there were only 40 cases where the woman was executed as a witch out of about 200 complaints of witchcraft, in America the inquisition could not judge the indigenous people. The trials of the Spanish inquisition were the most guaranteeing of the time, even more than civil trials. This is just a superficial thing but come on, if you want to know more about Seville, which is where the main headquarters of the inquisition was, they have all the cases, complaints, and executions written down there in the library because they kept everything in writing and when I say everything is all

Well, ''power corrupts...''
I am a direct descendent of those expelled from Spain in 1492. Those Jews cursed Spain and Portugal for what they did as so many died and were murdered leaving the Iberian peninsula. Until today, those countries have not prospered very much.
There is a very sinister evil to those who use religion and G0d to commit such crimes. What happened to the third commandment? G0d will not forgive one who uses religion to commit evil like murder.
Spain prospered immensely after the inquisition though, so I guess God was on their side for a hundred years after. Spain today is a multicultural hellscape
@@1994CPK of course they prospered right afterwards, look at all the property and wealth they had taken from all the ''heretics'' and the Jews could take nothing with them.
I'm sorry but these things don't happen in a vacuum, why were the common people so angry and distrustful of Spain's Jews and Muslims? I don't know if it's true, but people of the time prior the reconquista reported that Jews would open the city gates for invading Muslim armies as Jews expected better treatment and financial gain under Islamic rule rather than Christianity. This time period of Islamic invasion is when accusations of well poisoning started in Spain. One has to wonder how much these accusations were based in reality...they have to be based on something real. Medieval Jews were just as capable of doing bad things as medieval Christians or Muslims and it's hard to believe that all of the mistrust and accusations between the three religious communities were completely fabricated, to be fair.
@@1994CPK well Spain and Portugal prospered for several centuries with their overseas empires. today though Spain is a 4th rate country , one of the lowest GDPs in western Europe. they've opened their doors to the illegal migrants from Third World and are suffering for it. an indication of their failure is how Gibraltar is almost 100% for remaining British after 300 years ; why would the people of the Rock want to join Spain, an historically undemocratic and authoritarian country...?
@@BaltimoresBerzerker Jews, Muslims, yes and Christians are human beings with human frailties. In the beginning of the video, the inquisition was hitting on born Christians who had ideas that didn't comport with Church Doctrine. At that time, I don't think that ordinary Christians could or were allowed to read the Bible (we've come a long way). Let's not forget the Thirty Years War. These were Christians literally killing each other. Each one calling the other heretics. Look, it wasn't all peachy for the Jews under Muslim control. Around 1150, the Almohads invaded the Iberian peninsula, ransacked it, forcing everyone to convert to Islam or flee.

“Instilled fear for 400 years”
“Resulting in some 32,000 executions” over the course of that entire time period… definitely overhyped.
Yet it’s still extremely annoying coming from a society used to checks and balances, knowing how many corrupt individuals got away with spreading lies for personal gain.
The number is closer to 2,000 to 5,000, not 32,000, no?
@jamesbranstetter4586 honestly, that's what I thought too.
@robertortiz-wilson1588 this channel should be called "some of my opinions about history with some facts mixed in"
Opposite. 6️⃣ CENTURIES of Catholic Inquisitions resulted
in 5️⃣ 2️⃣ MILLION Europeans
being * Targeted *Interrogated
* Robbed * TORTURED and Murdered.
Absolute power corrupts absolutely.
Thanks for watching.
My Family had all their livestock taken by the Church and their house burnt down prior to sailing to America. They were beat and left for dead! ( Only a Remnant Remains )You can learn a lot from your Family History! They endured a lot! And the Jews that didn't get murdered were treated worse than imaginable. The Day of the Lord will show how he feels about your efforts! Glory Be To God!
This is the kind of stuff that happens when a faith gets led by mankind instead of God.
My Mother-in-Law was born hundreds of years too late.
I grew up with a saying that goes..
"No one is as committed to a cause, as is a convert."
It's interesting to note that the most thorough, studied and incorruptible Inquisitor General during the Spanish Inquisition was Torquemada, himself a convert to Catholicism before he joined the Seminary.
A converted awakened idealist has the strongest Faith and he had it. I learned this about the Spanish Inquisition when I was in college getting my degrees in Spanish language and culture (New World), and we spent a week on the Inquisition, topically, to round out things happening on the peninsula that was affecting the New World.
Torquemada, a Muslim convert at 9-11 years old, gave and dedicated his life to the Catholic Church. As history shows, the hard line Catholic Church attitude then was confess and repent and become catholic, or be deemed a heretic and get roasted or get expelled.
Of course, Torquemada actively sought out conversion, seemingly a lost soul looking for God. Besides, He wasn't under the threat of death to convert.
Interesting twistsin history.
Excellent research, thanks for this deep dive!
It's a reminder that fanaticism in any shape or form begets evil and have always been found to have some sort of unaddressed mental issue underpinning their so called "faith" and "zeal". Person mature in faith are secure. People like Torquemada and his whole caravan are anything but. Unfortunately, we still have no shortage of fanatics still today. Thank you for sharing that fact. I never knew that part of this history.
Papal Authority = Wrong Authority
Also it should be understood that many times the Church was the ONLY authority that existed and people looked to her to solve their legal and social problems. There were people doing things that required a harsh solution. Society then didn't pamper its criminals the way we do. They took action. Not saying it was right, but you have to look at it in the context of the time, place, and attitude of the people. The people then, mainly all Christian, abhorred the thought that someone could actually worship the devil. So they certainly didn't object to what they saw as justice. The fact that a Papal Bull was issued indicated it to be a serious problem not a fabrication for political purposes. Even reading the Bull I see that they were attempting to reach the truth. Just because the Bull was written to solve a problem, doesn't automatically mean that the people who administered it were dishonest or evil people.
IF anyone thinks that these were holy POPES, not corrupt politicians
Think Again.
Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition. However, apparently the wealthy could buy their way out, lol
great primer, but missed a few points of relevancy-
1- During that time the mortality rate in Spanish prisons was about 50%, whereas in Inquisition prisons it was only about 10%
so many prisoners committed or confessed to heresy to get transferred to Inquisition prisons
2- During the same time period, where according to your report almost 40k died were executed,
in Protestant Europe, over 1/2 a million people were executed for witchcraft
True, Spain had a lower death rate compared to Germany, Italy, and even France for a while.
@@FORGOTTENHISTORYCHANNEL
i was talking about Protestant Europe, but thanks for showing your true colors by deflecting--so much for the accuracy🤕
@@FORGOTTENHISTORYCHANNEL
protestant Europe had 10 times the death rate from Witchcraft trials, but thanks for glossing over that--shows your agenda😒
1666, the sabbatains, psychopaths who all agree 🐓🗡️☠️
"Torture allowed under the church".
Nuff said. Now we know where Satan is.
Am I the only one that ever wonders why humans are so shity to each other?
You need not wonder...
It is the fallen nature of man...
If any man does "good" it is because GOD who dwells in him that is good...
Sounds somewhat similar to today's cancel culture. A person can be cancelled without ever knowing who laid the charges.
A great video succinctly yet accurately encapsulating this horrible time period & event!
Thank you.
It’s the only reason there are still Spaniards in Spain
@@sabrinatscha2554
Sorry?
16:08 Talking about the ruthless efficiency Cardinal Jiménez used when dealing with the Islamic Moors was something I didn't expect...
No one expects the Spanish Inquisition!
NOBODY escapes the Spanish Inquisition!!!!!!
Well, we all learned in School that in 1492 Columbus sailed the ocean blue and discovered America. What was not taught was where the money from the money-strapped King and queen of Spain came from. It came from money extorted from the Jews that were forced to leave Spain. They would wander and end up in all places Poland and what would later be called the Pale of Settlement established by Tsarina Ekaterina II The Great. It was just one of the many tribulations that the Jewish diaspora had to endure over the centuries from 79 AD to 1948 and the Reestablishment of the State of Israel. There was a really good documentary on the Spanish Inquisition done by the History Channel when the History Channel really did history. It's got to be 30 years ago now. They when into the archives of the Office of the Inquisition, it still exists. A lot of what is said about it is pure propaganda. Not that it was a good thing, It was no better or worst than when in England or the other European Nations at the time. It's a well-documented thing in Spain, they recorded everything and for a historian, it's a virtual gold mine of how people thought and acted and how the Idea of the rule of law came about. It's why our founding fathers wrote the Constitution of the United States the way they did, they were fully aware of this history. Then again we are only a country because of the Spice trade and that the Europeans wanted to cut the Muslims out of it. It's really all Ghengis Khans' fault.
Interesting post. Thanks for watching.
Yeah im sure it's just a coincidence their expulsion coincides with the exact same year the Spanish "Golden Age" started. What about the other 108 times?
The Talmud says Christ is boiling in his own excrement in Hellfire. I have no sympathy for those heathens!
I don’t think Columbus discovered America. He just got credit for it. He was actually obsessed with the garden of Eden and was looking for it.
