the inquisitions
The Inquisitions was a time period between 1184-1230 and was when courts were used to determine whether Catholic Christians were not following any other religion. They were not only finding out if other religions were present but also finding if which craft or magic were being used. The purpose of the inquisitions was to keep Christianity a religion that was followed almost all of Europe and this gave the leaders power of their people with religion. This has helped shape our society by heresy being almost completely removed as free speech came into existence.
