Why The Inquisition Was Awesome, Actually

In modern Western media, the Inquisition is often portrayed as a case of Christianity being a cruel religion. Wild exaggerations of events have led many people to associate the institution with mass executions and endless torture. However, this popular narrative has been largely refuted by modern historians, and is based on centuries-old lies and misconceptions. The Inquisition was a series of religious tribunals through Christian history that sought to correct heresy and preserve the truth of the Christian religion as passed down from the Apostles. Movies like History of the World Part I and video games like Assassin's Creed portray the Inquisition in a very negative light. In truth, the Inquisition wasn't nearly as bad as it's often portrayed, and even had many positives. In this video, we'll be setting the record straight.
