Inquisition en · PROPN

Meanings

  1. (historical) A tribunal of the Roman Catholic Church set up to investigate and suppress heresy.
    • We know from history that the Catholic Church has historically murdered, mutilated, castrated, maimed, imprisoned and flogged homosexuals. Catholic atrocities during the Inquisition are well documented and cannot be denied. The Church no longer does those things to homosexuals, but it violates their human rights in other ways. 1981 December 27, John Rupkey, “Leading The Way In Persecution”, in Gay Community News, volume 9, number 23, page 4:
  2. (broadly) A harsh or rigorous interrogation that violates one’s rights.
