Poorly organized
There are big problems with this article.
- After the lede, the Background section should focus on events in Spain - the forced conversions of the 7th century, the massacres of 1391, the expulsions of 1492., etc Inquisitions outside of Spain can be summarized in just a short paragraph since there's already a Main article link to the Medieval Inquisition, at the top of the section
- Next should follow a historical account of the Spanish Inquistion, in chronological order ,similar to the section Activity of the Inquisition, although those sections also need improving
- The entire section under Creation, should be moved toward the end, in a section perhaps called "Modern Interpretations"
I'd be interested in the views of others on this, so we can start making appropriate changes Thhhommmasss (talk) 02:04, 21 April 2025 (UTC)
"Among the non-Spanish authors prohibited were Ovid, Dante, Rabelais, Ariosto, Machiavelli, Erasmus, Jean Bodin, Valentine Naibod, and Thomas More (known in Spain as Tomás Moro)."
Can we get a citation or citations for this? I'd especially be interested in learning which of More's works were prohibited -- Utopia seems to be the likeliest one, but did the Inquisition object to others? His entire output? JMeggett (talk) 19:36, 14 May 2025 (UTC)

South America
There is very poor treatment of the Inquisition in South America in this article. It's mentioned a couple of times but really just in passing. There are articles (Mexican Inquisition; Peruvian Inquisition) that need to be more properly embedded in this one, too. SSR07 (talk) 15:42, 1 October 2025 (UTC)
