The Inquisitions were a series of institutions within the Catholic Church that were responsible for investigating and suppressing heresy, often through legal processes and sometimes involving severe punishments.

Join me, with a cameo from Monty Python's Flying Circus, to discuss the Medieval, Spanish and Roman Inquisitions, and how there is still an inquisition in place today.
