Gosh I'd love to know what you're reading about this. DO tell me you're not writing off the top of your head. Let me suggest E.F. Peters on the Spanish Inquisition - a useful contemporary source. If you're reading ANYTHING written by a 19th century English speaker (especially if his name is Lea), you are toying with the
Leyenda Negra. --

In fact, skimming back through earlier versions, someone had a pretty good version of the
converso problem. I wonder why it disappeared? --

Which inquisition murdered
Jan Hus? --

- not an inquisition at all, but the [Council of Constance]?. The Conciliar movement wasn't all it was cracked up to be by 19th century historians. --MichaelTinkler
this is worse than it used to be. "Resistance was usually futile." Tell it to the popes! The Arian situation was NOT solved by the Council of Nicaea. In fact, because of imperial patronage Arianism became the variety of Christianity most consistently supported by the government for the next 50 or so years. Constantine didn't make Christianity the state religion - that was Theodosius
? in the 380s. --
