I don't recall where I read this, so take this not as iron fact but as something to investigate, but the inquisitions were somewhat less harmful than people make them out to be. The church didn't pick who got investigated, it was their job to just ask them up front if they were a heretic, even give them a chance to just repent and be absolved of the crime, then just hand them over to the state if not. The Spanish ones were a lot more corrupt, yet that was mostly on the government's end. But again, don't take this as gospel from me unless I remember the book I read this from, and the book checks out.
