The Era of Inquisitions began in France in the 12th Century AD.
The Inquisition came to Goa when St. Francis Xavier wrote to the King of Portugal, John the lll, in 1545 asking him to install it in Goa.
Inquisition came to Goa in 1560 and was revoked in 1774. This was the darkest period of the Catholic religion.
A few pictures of the instruments of torture, used then, to torture the victims were mailed to me which I am sharing here.
