Inquisition
The Inquisition is a group of institutions within the judicial system of the Roman Catholic Church whose aim was to combat heresy. It started in 12th-century France to combat religious sectarianism, in particular the Cathars and the Waldensians. Other groups which were investigated later include the Spiritual Franciscans, the Husites (followers of Jan Hus) and Beguines. Beginning in the 1250s, inquisitors were generally chosen from members of the Dominican Order, to replace the earlier practice of using local clergy as judges. The term Medieval Inquisition covers these courts up through the 14th century.
In the Late Middle Ages and early Renaissance, the concept and scope of the Inquisition was significantly expanded in response to the Protestant Reformation and the Catholic Counter-Reformation. Its geographic scope was expanded to other European countries, resulting in the Spanish Inquisition and Portuguese Inquisition. Those two kingdoms in particular operated inquisitorial courts throughout their respective empires (Spanish and Portuguese) in the Americas (resulting in the Peruvian Inquisition and Mexican Inquisition), Asia, and Africa. One particular focus of the Spanish and Portuguese inquisitions was the issue of Jewish anusim and Muslim converts to Catholicism, partly because these minority groups were more numerous in Spain and Portugal than in many other parts of Europe, and partly because they were often considered suspect due to the assumption that they had secretly reverted to their previous religions.

Inquisition (Warhammer 40,000)
The Inquisition (The Holy Orders of the Emperor's Inquisition) is an organization in the fictional Warhammer 40,000 universe. They act as the secret police of the Imperium, hunting down any and all threats to the stability of the God-Emperor's realm. In fiction relating to the games, Inquisitors are usually represented by extremely powerful, intelligent, and talented individuals. In the games, Inquisitors are usually powerful combatants with a variety of specialized abilities with a party of followers who improve and protect the Inquisitor. Inquisitors also grant the player access to many new units, such as Imperial Assassins and Daemonhosts.
Development of the Inquisition
In early editions of Warhammer 40,000, the Inquisition was a single, undivided organization, with a single inner order, the Ordo Malleus. The stated purpose of the Ordo was to police the Inquisition itself, but it also existed to combat the threat of the infinite hordes of Chaos. This massive war remains a secret hidden from most forces of the Imperium, including non-Malleus Inquisitors.

Inquisition
by: Dawn Of DestinyCenturies ago - or still alive?
Misery, torture, pain - still justified
In the name of Christianity
Persecution, Murdering
The so called heretics
For church, for God, for profit
Judged by the hand of death
Bishops, popes the holy men
In the name of Jesus Christ
No freedom of belief
With cruelty inconceivable
Brutal inventions on their side
Forcing everyone to believe
What they shall do
Nothing's as red as blood
The inquisition draws near
And they will all appear
To accuse you of false belief
There is only one way to God
And we will show you the way
Even if it takes your life
You won't survive
If you're wrong
Accepting the holy Bible at face value
Witches, heretics they all have to burn
Judged by the hand of death
Bishops, popes the holy men
In the name of Jesus Christ
No freedom of belief
With cruelty inconceivable
Brutal inventions on their side
Forcing everyone to believe
What they shall do
Nothing's as red as blood
The inquisition draws near
And they will all appear
To accuse you of false belief
There is only one way to God
And we will show you the way
Even if it takes your life
You won't survive
