* The Spanish Inquisition, which sought to root out heresy. And witchcraft. And Jews...
** ''Not'' Jews. The Inquisition was looking for Jews ''pretending to be Christians.'' It may seem like a trivial distinction to us, but actual professing Jews weren't subject to the Inquisition because they ''weren't'' Christians. Of course, the secular authorities could and did expel them from Spain and other countries, but that wasn't Inquisition business.
** An oft-neglected category is ''Muslims'' pretending to be Christians, who faced the same amount of persecution. However, more Muslims had left Spain by the time the Inquisition was started than had Jews. Also, the Inquisition had an incentive to convict people with money (it seized the assets of those it convicted), and (as elsewhere) more Jews were "money men" in Spain than Muslims (Islam treats moneylending even more harshly than medieval Christianity). Plus, Jews were considered Christ-killers, so the Inquisition focused more on ''marranos'' (converted Jews) than ''moriscos'' (converted Muslims).
