	The Spanish Inquisition (Monty Python) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Spanish Inquisition was one of the most popular Monty Python sketches.
		Nobody in their right mind could have expected this form of Spanish Inquisition, where the Inquisitors use such torture methods as poking the accused with soft cushions and forcible seating in a comfy chair to force a heretic (an elderly housewife) to recant.
		In the original Monty Python's Flying Circus TV episode (episode 15), the Spanish Inquisition makes several "unexpected" appearances, until at the very end of the show they are caught by surprise when a barrister in a court session at the Old Bailey says "I didn't expect a kind of Spanish Inquisition".

	Catholic Culture : Document Library : The Spanish Inquisition: Fact Versus Fiction
		The Holy Office, as it was popularly called, was founded in 1478 on the strength of a papal rescript requested by the sovereigns of a newly united Spain, the wife and husband, Isabella of Castile and Ferdinand of Aragon.
		And this is precisely why the Inquisition was created by the Spanish monarchs: as the etymology of the word implies, the first task of this new judicial body was inquiry, specifically inquiry into the authenticity of the conversion of the Moors and Jews who had come under the sway of those monarchs.
		During the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, when Spanish sovereignty extended from Italy to most of Latin America, on average less than three persons a year were executed by the Inquisition, which was formally constituted in all those places as well as at home.

	Culture of Cuba - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Traditional Cuban food is, as most cultural aspects of this country, a syncretism of Spanish, African and Caribbean cuisines, with a small but noteworthy Chinese influence.

	The Spanish Inquisition - phatmass phorum
		Not infrequently the Catholic Church is attacked on the basis of the Spanish Inquisition.
		These were people who had converted from Islam or Judaism to Christianity, either recently in person or as a result of the conversion of their forebears had become so with the passage of time and generations.
		The torture it occasionally inflicted (though not as a regular practice) and the burning at the stake which the government ordered for those the Inquisition had convicted twice, cannot be defended--though they were by no means evils unique to the Inquisition or the Spain.

		The Spanish armada only sailed after Elizabeth had rejected Phillip (her half sisters widower)proposal of marriage (for the umpteenth time).

		The Spanish Inquisiton was not as lethal as other European tribunals.
		MacCulloch maintains: "The long-term success of Spanish evangelism in the Americas was to make the Catholic Church an essential part of Indio culture as well as a tie binding it to the cultures of southern Europe" (431).
		Of course, missionaries were imbued with a sense of cultural superiority, yet "the Church did achieve a remarkable degree of synthesis between Christianity and those elements of native culture that it allowed to survive" (430).

		The Spanish electorate has made a grave mistake - or perhaps shown their true belief in the new form of fascist Europe (of which Spain was from the 1930s to the 1970s the most consistent exemplar).

		That is, in relation to an imagined sinister plot by the Church's historically secretive secular political arm with roots in the Spanish Inquisiton - Opus Dei - to cover up a bit of religious antiquity for the sake of perpetuating self-serving spiritual control over humanity.
		Namely, Opus Dei's inception as a political conspiracy hand in hand with Spain's Franco to destroy the elected progressive Republican government of Spain during the ensuing Spanish Civil War, and to commit carnage against the left in Spain and later in collusion with Mussolini and Hitler.
		This while Europe's Jews were knowingly being casually exterminated, in order to concentrate instead on attacking the Soviet Union and destroying communism, and eventually to aid Nazis and their collaborators to escape from Europe and pending prosecutions, following WW II.
