THE DARK LEGACY - The Inquisition in the History of the Catholic Church

(Includes the Book: “RELIGIOUS FUNDAMENTALISM AND SCIENCE”)Fully Illustrated Books

Why did the Church that preached Christ’s love resort to terror, torture, and the stake in the name of God?

And how do the echoes of that past still resonate today in the conflicts between faith and reason?

For more than six centuries, a shadow loomed over Europe and its colonies: the Inquisition.

More than just a tribunal, it was a bureaucratic and ruthless machine, created to hunt, judge, and eliminate anyone who dared to challenge the orthodoxy of the Catholic Church.

But what is the true story behind the myth? What led an institution founded on the Gospel to become a force of oppression and fear?

In “The Dark Legacy,” we embark on a deep and courageous historical journey that unveils the secrets of this dark period.

From the persecution of the Cathar heretics in the Middle Ages to the hunt for the New Christians in a unified Spain;

from the secret courts of Portugal to their global consequences in Colonial Brazil;

and the epic confrontation with the birth of modern science in the case of Galileo — this book recounts the evolution of the Inquisition with uncompromising historical rigor.
