John 3: 16-21
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

Thomas de Torquemada was the first appointed inquisitor, the Inquisitor General, who presided over the bloodiest time of the Inquisition. In 1491 he produced the rules/guidelines of how to conduct an inquisition. In his twenty years more than 2000 lost their live and hundreds more were tortured.
Accused were imprisoned. No trial was conducted. A series of interviews took place with the prisoner returned to their cell afterwards. The family hand no contact. All was secret! This process could go on for weeks or months, with the accused not necessarily knowing what he is accused of. The accused were not allowed witnesses to give testimony on their behalf.

I don't know if it was on this period, but the inquisition is one of the main reasons we don't know a lot of the history of Mexico. They burned many of the historical texts from the Aztec and other tribes.
And this is in my opinion is a horrible thing to do

There was also a debate during this time whether to support Philippine colonisation or not as it was too costly to manage a very far away land hence why Viceroyalty of Mexico manage the Spanish East Indies instead of directly from the crown of the Kingdom.

They were better than no inquisition because mob rule was far more punishing. Just consder the mob attacks on blasphemers in muslim countries today. Also reprisals by Muslims to take back Spain were a real threat. A very good explanation and much needed.

On the subject of hatred of other religions, it is worth noting that the conflict between the Catholic/Christian world and the Muslim one had been going on pretty intensely for a while, and the enmity was by no means one-sided.

They were bad, but for the time, they werent that bad.
But, why was the Spanish Inquisition bad at all? If it was supposed to be in service of an omnipotent, omniscient, and merciful god, why was ANY torture needed?

Good to know that 32, 000 executions, hundreds of thousands of people tortured, religious oppression and other persecutions, all under an umbrella of bribery and corruption. wasn't 'that bad'.

A dearth of statistics so you don't answer the question at all; just some subjective opinion that other less well know inquisitions were worse. Wonder why you bothered.

The Spanish Inquisition real numbers had been overshadowed by the Leyenda Negra, propaganda made by the Empire enemies. It was nowhere near other Inquisitions over Europe.

I can only surmise that next you'll do a video of how American Slavery was no big deal, or how the Holocaust can only be properly understood within its historical context.

The biggest thing to be said in the defense of the Inquisition was that thy were the only court in Europe at the time who placed the burden of proof on the prosecution.

I imagine, though, that the Spanish Inquisition didn't mind a reputation for ruthlessness, seeing that it probably made people more willing to confess up front.

You completely missed the Spanish Colonies aka Latin America where the Spanish Inquisition was rampant through out the 17 C. Catholicism at its finest.

It is estimated that the Spanish Inquisition burned 300 people alive for witchcraft. In Germany the estimation rounds a number close to 25. 000.

Now we are suppose to believe the people that did the heinous acts over the people they did it too. That's basically what everyone is saying.

The Spanish Inquisition not so bad, that is probably, why the Netherlands fought 80 years for their independence of Spain and Philip II.

Their chief weapons were fear, suprise, ruthless efficiency, an almost fanatical devotion to the pope, and nice red uniform. (Oh Dang)

Not that bad needs at least some numbers of people who were condemned to death by their inquisitors during a given period of time.
