Europe 1 Studio SEASON 2021 - 20222: 2pm, October 27, 2021
Even today, the word "inquisition" makes people tremble.
In our collective imagination, it evokes injustice, arbitrariness, violence and terror.
But what is it exactly?
In this new episode of the Europe 1 Studio podcast "At the heart of History", Clémentine Portier-Kaltenbach looks back on the dark history of the Inquisition in the Middle Ages.
The Inquisition, this judicial institution set up by the Catholic Church in the 13th century, had the mission of tracking down those it considered to be heretics… In this new episode of the Europe 1 Studio podcast "At the heart of History", Clémentine Portier-Kaltenbach recounts this sad episode through the example of a trial that took place in Toulouse, in the heart of the Cathar country.
