2. Inquisition 1233-1492

The Early Institution

[since 1233: Introduction of Inquisition in Central and Western Europe - executed by "Franciscans" and "Dominicans"]

Although the Inquisition was established by Pope *Gregory IX, it owed its name to the procedure instituted by Pope *Innocent III (1198-1216) for searching out persons accused of heresy. Gregory himself created permanent judges delegate (inquisitores dati ab ecclesia) in 1233, entrusting the mission of judging heretics to the *Dominicans, who divided their duties with the *Franciscans on a geographical basis. [Often the accusations were INVENTED to destroy competitors].  eliminating Life imprisonment was prescribed for the repentant and capital punishment for the obdurate [in both cases all goods of an accused person and of his family were confiscated and distributed to the Church and to the local royal family - clan punishment like in the Third Reich], after they were handed over to the secular authorities [to the Royal family]. The practice of burning heretics [or for the falsely blamed persons] at the stake (see *Auto-da-fé) was introduced in the last years of the 12th century [1190 appr.]. By 1255 the Inquisition was fully active in Central and Western Europe, but was never established in England and Scandinavia. Portugal was not included in the system until 1532.

[since 1252: Torture for the Inquisition]

The use of torture for the detection of heresy was authorized in 1252 by Innocent IV (1243-54), and confirmed by Urban IV (1261-64). Property of those sentenced [or falsely sentenced] to life imprisonment or to death [and of ALL family members] was [confiscated and] handed over to the secular arm, but often the Church sought to derive some profit from the confiscated valuables.

[Suplement: Inquisition = INVENT offenses - ROB possessions - Third Reich - today by Youth Welfare Office + KESB etc.
So the principle of the Inquisition was: INVENT crimes - ROB possessions - to IMPOVERISH the population and DOMINATE the planet. The criminal practice of the Jesus Fantasy Church was then also copied under Hitler in the Third Reich, and this is how many dictatorships of the Western world do it with their youth welfare offices (Germany) or with the protection organizations for children and adults (KESB) in Switzerland: They INVENT crimes and ROB certain people of everything - they like it most to rob houses and violate inheritance law. Several KESB cases can be presented with robbed houses].

[from 1209: Inquisition against heretic Christians]

Initially, the Inquisition dealt with Christian heretics, like the *Albigenses, against whom a full-scale Crusade was organized in 1209. According to Canon Law, the Inquisition was not authorized to interfere in the internal affairs of the Jews, but this rule was abolished on the ground that the presence of Jews caused heresy to develop in the Christian milieu. The dispute which raged around Maimonides' books (1232) provided the Inquisition with a convenient opportunity to interfere in Jewish affairs (see *Maimonidean controversy).

[1242: France: Talmud condemned - Talmud burning - mass murder of Jews on stake in Troyes 1288]

In June 1242, an inquisitorial committee condemned the Talmud in Paris, principally for blasphemy against Jews, and thousands of volumes of it were subsequently burned in public (see Burning of *Talmud). The first mass burning of Jews on the stake took place in France in 1288, following a *blood libel at *Troyes. Nevertheless, persecution of the Jews by the Inquisition in France remained confined to a few cases, never reaching the proportions it later assumed in the Iberian Peninsula. [WRONG: during plague times, all Jews of France were expelled to Poland].

[As far as the Talmud and the Bible are concerned, BOTH works are not compatible with human rights and people of other faiths are systematically bullied and character assassinated there. Apparently, BOTH books should be revised or replaced by books that comply with human rights].

[Supplement: Talmud AND Bible are not acceptable - nor Quran
As far as the Talmud and the Bible are concerned, BOTH works are not compatible with Human Rights and people of other faiths are systematically bullied and defamed, with threats and orders to torture or kill the other side. Apparently, BOTH books should be revised or replaced by books that comply with human rights. This counts also for Quran without Human Rights, but with many superfluous curses and murder orders].
