Original Note:
It is commonly assumed Jews were chief target of the inquisition. Generally that was not the case. 1998 Pope John Paul ll declared ancient secret archives, open to scholars. The first victims were actually Catholic dissidents- Cathars, then, Jewish, Muslim, Lutherans. https://www.jta.org/2007/05/08/united-states/pbs-looks-at-the-inquisition: https://history.howstuffworks.com/historical-figures/spanish-inquisition.htm
