Movie Reviews of Secret Files of the Inquisition
Movie Review: Inquisition History & Ironies
Summary: 5 Stars
One of the great ironies of history is that the funding of Columbus' discovery of the New World which became the bulwark of religious freedom may have come from the confiscated property of the Jews by Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand during the Spanish Inquisition. This DVD assembles information from many sources to tell the story of the Inquisition from before its inception by Pope Gregory IX in 1231 to after its dissolution by Pope Pius IX in 1862. The Inquisition which was created to control Christian heresies and blasphemies within the expanding Roman Catholic realm evolved into a program to satisfy the economic needs of Kings and Queens.
There are too few heroes in this story. Looking back from our modern perspective, this history will please only the critics of the Catholic Church and by extension all organized religions. By engaging this excellent DVD you will better appreciate how far the human mind can stretch truth and belief to satisfy political and economic needs.
