What experts have said about Inquisition
1 statement · 1 neutral
The Inquisition was decentralized and constrained by slow communication with the Vatican.
“The Inquisition is overseen by a whole bunch of isolated guys who are in isolated towns. And it takes weeks or months to even communicate with the Vatican.”
