How Napoleon Ended The Terror Of The Spanish Inquisition | Files of the Inquisition | Real History

In his conquest of Europe Napoleon encounters and abolishes the Inquisition and its ongoing atrocities in France, Spain and northern Italy. But with Napoleon's fall from power the Inquisition returns with vengeance. Despite causing substantial public relations damage to the Catholic Church in the modern era it is not substantially curtained until the Church is conquered by the newly unified nation of Italy.

If there is one thing the Holy Roman Catholic Church did well, it was recording keeping. My relatives who were forced to convert in the 18 th century to Catholicism, their decendants were killed in the Nazi concentration camps. The Nazi' s were privy to the conversi records.

Pope Pius IX was dead wrong to steal a child from his parents and cause them so much pain and grief. What punishment would he have suffered if he had been anyone else? He would have 🔥 burned at the stake.

[@trtr-tl8li]

I can't believe it. Did Spain do such terrible things until modern times? Wasn't Napoleon Bonaparte an liberator? That's great.

"Evil of the most evil doers"? You don't know history! And you don't know evil, true evil. Look at the history and the plight of the palestinians and the suppression, Starvation beatings, murder, rape at the hands of Israel for decades! The US has supplied bombs daily to kill Thousands of palestinians,13,000 children from bombs and still dying of starvation. That's evil pure evil. They're sending billions of dollars for weapons, artillery tanks planes,bombs to keep the war going in Ukrainian. Another country they overthrew and put their puppet Zelensky in power! They have blood on their hands from hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian deaths. What about the treatment of Haitians brought over from Africa as slaves by the French and the treatment and the coup from United States, Hillary Clinton, UK and Canada. evil doers. Or how about the over 2 million innocent civilians that America killed in Vietnam. Hundreds of thousands of men women and children died at the hands of US atomic bombs on Japan. Causing sickness for decades. Evil evil doers! Today the US has over 800 military bases outside of America. They're stirring up trouble wherever they go killing innocent civilians. Now Open your eyes and see the real evil evil doers!

The Inquisition was the reason I turned away from organised religion. Killing and torturing people, just because they could, is beyond comprehension. Religion is an excuse for many to vie for power and domination.

[@paullangin4499]

For the real story on the Inquisition read the work of Protestant professor Rodney Starke, ‘Bearing False Witness.’ An eye-opener.

[@aripg359]

Im sure his book is great defending the siblings from another religion. Antisemitism from another point of view. I wonder if he dated the documents by the Roman Catholic Church where they documented all their terror.

Spain had done many horrible things to world by invading many countries and declared their own. Example, they invaded many islands in the east and called them the Philippines on the name of their king Phillip two, now philippines.when Spain new they will loss to usa,Spain sold the Philippines to USA at a cost of twenty million us dollars,which, they called treaty of paris.my question: how can Spain sold the Philippines to USA.spain can not own Philippines, the owners of these islands now called the Philippines are the inhabitants not the spaniards.it is good USA returned these island to us and gave us independence.be the judge.

I am glad that the myth of burning at burnung at the stake of heretics was left out.

Myth....you catholics are willfully blind to the horrors of the RC Church. Even today it is a haven for every evil under the sun.

[@ocean77359]

That was no myth....

[@texasray5237]

The Spanish didn't burn heretics at the stake. They had other methods. That was the English. Burning witches.

[@texasray5237]

The myth wasn't left out. You just missed it.

It was in there and it wasn’t a myth. More than 12-15,000 people were burned at the stake!

Napoleon didn't end any terror at all. He replaced the inquisition with a far greater terror. He killed a hundred times more innocents than the inquisition ever did.

[@user-vh3fr3lb8w]

He killed those that resisted his reform agenda. Not innocent like catholics did

[@jerzywieckowski7610]

No.

Napoleon was no Alexander the Great .. but Napoleon would have been better for Europe, than the British Empire .. Because Napoleon would have killed all the royals and with no British German royals there would have been no WW1 and no WW2, no English and no USA, Etc.. Millions more would have been Saved by Napoleon, indeed.

[@laara1426]

Wrong.. You can't compare Napolean to the Inquistion .

[@TheLeonhamm]

LOL This is neither real, true, nor exactly history. Napoleon did not end the legal system of inquiry and inquest in Spain, aka the Inquisition; it was officially suspended by Spain because the British (rightly) feared the officers of the Inquisition might react badly to the British invasion of Spain - and, moreover, the Free Masonic revolutionary lodges were closely aligned to the English and Scotish (and French) lodges. The French revolutionary regime (under Napoleaon) did suppress the operation of the Inquisition (into clerical immorality, extortionate interest on loans, fake marriages, etc), replacing it with a secular version of the same system btw (pursuing state enemies, counter-revolutionary sentiment, priestcraft, charitable institutions .. nuns, monks, etc); it was this that deeply troubled the ordinary, law-abiding, Spaniard (as a similar hostile move was rebelled against the Austrians in the Netherlands, under the 'enlightened despotism' of the Emperor Joseph). Church courts in Spain - as in Britain - continued to function into the twentieth century .. and, as before, not a few malefactors would 'sin' in order to escape the interminable horrors of the secular justice system; a fine or three Hail Mary's was the most frequent penalty imposed by the Church courts (while the Crown courts frequently imposed penal incarceration .. e.g. Magdelene Laundries, yes, these were secular, government funded, charities - i.e. run on the cheap - or Borstal Schooling or the Poor House or the Lunatic Ward .. and even penal servitude = the loss of all liberty, control, access or purpose, or a merciful alternative, exile to a penal colony). The Spanish Inquisition was feared, and with good reason, because .. it was so thorough - indeed rather too inquisitive - not because of its threat to use of the Third Degree level of legal questioning (duress, coercion, isolation, thumb-screws or waterboarding - of recent usage). Baptising a child is not a crime, even today, yet it may now be considered a Hate Crime in some places .. if the parents feel offended; it was an officious action, and this could have serious consequences .. nurses in emergency rooms would, were necessary, Baptise a prematurely born child, in danger of death, that nurse would now most likely face severe disciplinary actions; who, then, was to decide if the infant was indeed validly and licitly baptised .. a magistrate or a bishop ..? ;o)
