The Horror Holy Medieval Inquisition -50 million tortured and killed!
St Dominic
Many churchmen had been keen participants in the extirpation of a rival faith, but none exceeded the zeal of Dominic Guzmán. His faithful Dominicans spawned the Medieval Inquisition, with all its horrors, pioneering new methods of torture and creating new crimes. Ordinances were passed which imposed new penalties for heresy. In 1233 Pope, Gregory IX charged the Dominican Inquisition with the final solution: the absolute extirpation of the Cathars. It was the beginning of the first modern police state in the world.
The crusades against the Albigenses of Southern France were widely successful.
The twenty years that followed were devoted to the cruel work of rooting out any seeds of heresy possibly remaining. Annually, parties of monks deserted Citeaux‘s convents preaching further crusades from pulpits that they had forcibly requisitioned. Their reward - Paradise.

Pope Innocent III and St Dominic
The foundation of the Inquisition had already been laid by Pope Innocent III. and St. Dominic who share between them the merit of this work. The fourth Lateran Council, commencing November 1215, had seen St. Dominic receive the Pontiff's commission to judge apostate heretics and deliver punishment to the obstinate and relapsed..
That St. Dominic died before it was completed alters not the question touching his connection with its authorship, though of late a vindication of him has been attempted on this ground, only by shifting the guilt to his Church. The fact remains that St. Dominic accompanied the armies of Simon de Montfort and delivered the Albigenses to the secular judge to be put to death. In short he lead the rudimentary Inquisition of the day.
Christian Torture Device: Head Crusher
With the head placed under the upper cap and the chin placed above the bottom bar, the top screw of this awful device was slowly turned, compressing the skull tightly. First the teeth are destroyed, shattering and splintering into the jaw. Then the eyes are squeezed from the sockets – some versions had special receptacles to catch them. Lastly, the skull fractures and the contents of the head are forced out. In earlier stages, the torturer could keep the head firmly clamped and strike the metal skull cap periodically; each blow echoing pain throughout the victim’s body.

Christian Torture Device(Medieval): Cat’s Paw
The Cat’s Paw (or Spanish Tickler) was oftentimes attached to a handle; in size and appearance it was an extension of the torturer’s hand. In this way it was used to rip and tear flesh away from the bone, from any part of the body.

The unwavering evil of the Christian “justice” system and the tools of torture they employed:
Knee Splitter
A popular torture device during the Inquisition, the knee splitter does what it says: split victims’ knees and render them useless. Built from two spiked wood blocks, the knee splitter is placed on top of and behind the knee of its victims. Two large screws connecting the blocks are then turned, causing the two blocks to close towards each other and effectively destroy a victim’s knee. This device could also be used to inflict damage on other parts of the body such as the arms.

Evilness executed in the name of religion dogma or God is the worst and most hypocritical.
The sad thing is that blind believers never failed to justify and dismiss such evilness.
