About this listen
For over six hundred years, the Catholic Church operated one of the most feared systems of control the world has ever seen — not through armies or kings, but through questions.
Were you a heretic? A witch? A secret Jew? A woman with knowledge? A man with doubts?
You wouldn’t know until they knocked.
In this darkly gripping and deeply researched history, James Johnson walks you through the smoke-filled chambers and torchlit streets of the Inquisition — from its earliest whispers in medieval France to its bloody climax in Spain, Portugal, Goa, and the New World.
This isn’t just a book about what the Church did. It’s a book about how they did it — and how that mindset still lingers today.
