Roman Catholic AnswerThere is no simple answer to this question, as you are dealing with a period of nearly seven centuries, and many different inquisitions. The Medieval Inquisition ran from 1184-1230. The Spanish Inquisition from 1478 through 1834, the Portuguese Inquisition from 1536 through 1821, and the roman Inquisition from 1542 through 1860. When people in the the modern, western world refer to "The Inquisition", most of the time they are referring to the Spanish Inquisition which was the only one which was NOT under the Church's control. The Spanish Inquisition was operated completely under the control of the Spanish crown and independent of the Holy See.Below are two links on the Inquisitions. Basically, Inquisitions under control of the Holy See were to seek out heresy and stop its effects on the population of the faithful, this was obviously not the case with the Spanish Inquisition - which was the only one operative in the Americas.
