List of some Inquisitors:Bernardo Gui

Eymeric

Recruited Dominicans (St. Dominic 1221)

Recruited Franciscan

The Dominicans created the first formal Inquisition.

In 1233 the next pope, Gregory IX, charged the Dominican Inquisition with the final solution: the absolute extirpation of the Cathars.

Soon the Franciscans would join in too, but it is Dominic Guzmán (St Dominic)

The Inquisition was enforced by Church officials including bishops, priests, and basically any other people who suspected someone of heresy

Future

The Papal Inquisition greatly increased the Catholic population

but the population of True Catholics decreased.

The Papal Inquisition turned more people away

Corruption in the Catholic Church will probably always exist but it is important for big leaders of the Church to maintain holy lives to set good examples.

Corruption

The whole Papal Inquisition was very corrupted itself.

It had good intentions such as wanting to route out heresies and corruption within the catholic countries yet it had an opposite reaction.
