Roman Inquisition
The
Roman Inquisition
began in
1542
when
Pope Paul III
established the
Holy Office
as the
final court of appeal
in trials of
heresy
and served as an important part of the
Counter-Reformation
. In reaction to the excesses of the
Spanish Inquisition
, it was tightly controlled by strict procedural rules under the administration of
Francisco Pea
. Among the subjects of this
Inquisition
were
Francesco Patrizzi
,
Giordano Bruno
,
Tommaso Campanella
, and
Galileo Galilei
. Of these, only Bruno was executed; Galileo died under
house arrest
and Campanella spent many years in
prison
. Some people express surprise upon hearing that the Roman Inquisition was still active in the
19th century
. In
1858
, it was instrumental in the kidnapping of
Edgardo Mortara
.
