Enforcing Conformity: The Inquisition

Enforcing Conformity: The Inquisition is a skill on Pengi from Lesson 4: The Counter-Reformation in Pengi Social Studies (Grade 7).

Key Concepts

To stop the spread of "heresy" (Protestantism) in Catholic lands, the Church strengthened the Inquisition , a Roman court system established to investigate and punish non believers. The Inquisition used secret testimony and torture to root out Protestants, Jews, and Muslims in places like Spain and Italy.

The Church also tried to control ideas through censorship, creating the Index of Prohibited Books . This was a list of publications that Catholics were forbidden to read, including works by Luther and scientists like Galileo. While these harsh measures kept Italy and Spain Catholic, they also stifled intellectual freedom in those regions for generations.
