Phenomenon
[edit]What is the name of this sort of thing? I read that the term "inquisition" can only be applied to Catholicism. So, which term should be applied to other religions? --95.24.75.123 (talk) 17:15, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
- Catholicism is not a religion in its own right, just a type of Christianity. I don't see what inquisition has to do with the witch trials in the early modern period. Some Catholic countries (like Spain and Portugal) had relatively few witch trials in this era (due to the lack of interest of the Spanish and Portuguese Inquisitions in persecuting this crime), while several Protestant countries had a rather high number of witch trials due to the support of witch-obsessed political leaders, particularly Scotland under the demonology "expert" James VI and I (who thought that witches were trying to assassinate him).
