Characters of the Inquisition by Thomas Walsh

The Catholic Wire Publications is glad to bring back this masterpiece of historical research and analysis. One of the greatest myths around the Catholic Church lies around the history of the Holy Inquisition, its intentions, modus operandi, abuses and merits. “Common Core” History would have us believe that the Catholic Church became at some point a monstrous institution, cruel and tyrannical, suppressing the freedom of individuals, burning alive throngs of heretics and innocent victims. In “Characters of the Inquisition” Walsh reveals the sources of this false narrative, and proceeds to dissect this most important institution in western culture, by analyzing some of its most significant figures, bringing (unlike his predecessors on the topic) his facts from reliable sources, and demonstrating that history regarding this period of the Church as its told in today’s mainstream, is anything but true. From the number of people that were actually given a death sentence throughout the operation of the Holy Tribunal, to the actual conditions of the prisons, this work is an essential read to every Catholic who wishes to be able to defend his faith.
