Defense of the Inquisition
By J.C. Dupuis, SSPX

The alleged horrors of the Inquisition generally come at the head of the list of the arguments of the enemies of the Church.

More often, they join the chorus of the anticlericals to attack the tribunal of the Holy Office.

It begs the question:what would have happened if the inquisition never took place?
The Marranos,or Sephardic Jews,were ingratiating themselves across the Iberian peninsula.Some worked their way up into influential circles,and some kept to themselves multiplying their numbers,a state within a state if you will.The Catholic Church and various states rooted these foreigners out.The measures taken by the inquisition may seem extreme to a modern American,but I believe the latter is finally coming to the realization that the U.S. is actually finding itself in a similar position as Spain and other European nations have in the past.
