HISTORY MYSTERIES:INQUISITION

New evidence that has recently been discovered in the libraries of the Vatican serves as the basis for this enlightening documentary from the History Channel. The impetus for Pope John Paul II`s declaration that the Catholic Church erred when it condemned Galileo in 1633, the new information also allows new light to shine on the myths and mysteries surrounding one of history`s darkest points: the Inquisition. Learn the terrible tale of the Black Legend, Tomas Torquemad, who was responsible for the deaths of over 15, 000 people. The role of the Knights Templar and the rise of Protestantism are also explored, in an illuminating documentary both intriguing and terrible. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only.
