The Spanish inquired (rather heavy-handedly,I might add) about the peoples recipe for spicy chicken quesadillas.This did not go over well with the locals,as you could imagine.

The Spanish Inquisition was started by the King and Queen of Spain in an attempt to convert the Jews. When it was discovered that htey were only pretending to convert, they king and queen went nuts and had thier court priests conduct an inquisition. When word got back to the pope on what was going on, he ordered it stopped. It is unsure the exact number of dead because then, like now, had a habit to exagerate.
It was not (and I repeat NOT) santioned by the church but carried out by the kind and queen of spain.

The Spanish military went around the new world, and inside of Spain, purging sin and converting heathens.
So basically killing Jews, gypsies, native Americans, and enslaving the ones they didn't kill.

Conversions went up, heresies went down. And public entertainment boomed. (A few things got broken, mostly lives, wills, spirits.)
