The document discusses the history of the inquisition from its origins in the 13th century to its abolition in the 19th century. It began as a way for the Catholic Church to discover and punish heresy through investigations and questioning that often involved torture. Over time, the inquisition targeted various religious dissenters like Cathars, Waldensians, Knights Templar, Jews, Muslims, and Protestants. It granted the Church political power and a way to consolidate orthodox theology while weakening opposition and gaining wealth through confiscated property. The inquisition used torture devices and censorship of prohibited books to enforce obedience to Church doctrine until it was finally abolished in fear of the French Revolution.

BACKGROUND INFO
The Portuguese were the colonizing precursors to the European "Age of
Discovery" (the exploration and conquest of the Americas.) They set the pattern
of conquest, conversion, slavery of indigenous peoples and appropriation of
their natural resources when they took over the Azores, Madeira and the Canary
Islands off the Western coast of Africa. They requested permission of the pope to take over this territory and he granted it, given that their said purpose was to gain more souls for the Church. Remember that Catholic nations like Portugal and Spain governed in consultation with the Catholic Church and had final say over key international issues involving Catholic nations. Portugal also said that whatever material gain they acquired as a consequence, was just an additional benefit that they promised to administer well. Slavery was approved by the pope because the king of Portugal, Duarte, said that the natives were so barbaric they had to force them to live according to Portuguese standards, which included conversion. Portugal was officially carrying out this "work" on behalf of the Church; acting as guardians.
This sounds really crazy and inhumane for the Church to approve of these
brutal policies. What we need to understand is that the Catholic Church saw its
purpose and mission as taking over the world. I know that sounds like an evil
character in a comic strip, but this is how the Church understood its mission:
Jesus put Peter in charge when he would be gone and told him "Feed my flock."
The Church saw Peter as the first Pope and interpreted "flock" to mean all the
people in the world, not just those who were already converted to Christianity.
So when you see the word "Petrine" it refers to the Church's interpretation of
Peter's duties passed on to the Church. Therefore the Church saw it as its divine
duty to convert all "infidels." Over the years there are different angles to this
that the Church emphasizes, but this is the foundation.
