 A investigation by the Church. It used horrible, sometimes life-threatening torture to make people confess their sins.
-However, some people believe the abuses from the Inquisition were justified.  Many of the torture techniques used were hardly new (they were used for centuries), and since the targets of the Inquisition were Jews and Muslims it is fair to say they would have done the same thing to Christians had the tables been turned.
-Nevertheless, the Inquisition was succesfull, and to this day Spain remains a Christian nation free of multicultural influences.
