Answer 1

When did the Spanish Inquisition end?
After about 1700 it was a feeble shadow of its former self but limped on for over another hundred years until 1835 when it was suppressed for the last time. The various other Inquisitions of Sicily, the New World and Venice disappeared in the decades around 1800, finally killed off by the Napoleonic Wars.

How?
The Inquisition was abolished during the domination of Napoleon and the reign of Joseph I (1808-1812). In 1813, the liberal deputies of the Cortes of Cadiz also obtained its abolition, largely as a result of the Holy Office's condemnation of the popular revolt against French invasion. But the Inquisition was reconstituted when Ferdinand VII recovered the throne on July 1 of 1814. It was again abolished during the three-year Liberal interlude known as the Trienio Liberal. Later, during the period known as the Ominous Decade, the Inquisition was not formally re-established,[36] although, de facto, it returned under the so-called Meetings of Faith, tolerated in the dioceses by King Ferdinand. These had the dubious honor of executing the last heretic condemned, the school teacher Cayetano Ripoll, garroted in Valencia July 26 of 1826 (presumably for having taught deist principles), all amongst a European-wide scandal at the despotic attitude still prevailing in Spain.

The Inquisition was definitively abolished July 15, 1834, by a Royal Decree signed by regent Maria Cristina de Borbon, during the minority of Isabel II and with the approval of the President of the Cabinet Francisco Martínez de la Rosa. (It is possible that something similar to the Inquisition acted during the first Carlist War, in the zones dominated by the carlists, since one of the government measures praised by Conde de Molina Carlos Maria Isidro de Borbon was the re-implementation of the Inquisition).

Answer 2

wasn't there a knight that killed the grand inquisitor or something too in the early 1800's. Can't remember his name. coolest knight in history though. You have to be pretty bad *** to kill the grand inquisitor :p
anyways, it's a sad topic and the effects of it still go on today
drug addicts, lgtb kids, etc are all treated like heretics still in a different way. drug use was very much a paganistic ritual thing and people still have the same kind of pre-conceptions about such things.. that has to do more with modern events but it does date back to the inquisition as well..
also lucifer was a deity in the Cathar's religion and still to this day Christians use that name for the devil while the devil was fabricated during the time of the inquisition as another way to label these people as evil. To this day the Cathars have never really recovered. There are some spin off religions and a small group of actual cathars out there but nowhere near where it would have been if this never happened.
Sad stuff anyways.
I challenge everyone to rethink our modern biases so we may move even further away from this type of persecution even if the subject may be a trivialized one like how we put drug addicts in jail instead of helping them. That's sort of a modern inquisition in my opinion.

Answer 3

During the reign of Charles IV and, in spite of the fears that the French Revolution provoked, several events took place that accentuated the decline of the Inquisition. In the first place, the state stopped being a mere social organizer and began to worry about the well-being of the public. As a result, it had to consider the land-holding power of the Church, in the señoríos and, more generally, in the accumulated wealth that had prevented social progress.[34] On the other hand, the perennial struggle between the power of the Throne and the power of the Church, inclined more and more to the former, under which, Enlightenment thinkers found better protection for their ideas. Manuel Godoy and Antonio Alcala Galiano were openly hostile to an institution whose only role had been reduced to censorship and was the very embodiment of the Spanish Black Legend, internationally, and was not suitable to the political interests of the moment:
The Inquisition? Its old power no longer exists: the horrible authority that this bloodthirsty court had exerted in other times was reduced... the Holy Office had come to be a species of commission for book censorship, nothing more...[35]
In fact, prohibited works circulated freely in public bookstores of Seville, Salamanca or Valladolid.
