Quotes by Norman H. Finkelstein (?)

“Concern about the true devotion of conversos to Christianity led religious courts established by the church—the Inquisition—to investigate those thought to be not totally loyal to the church. The Inquisition only had power over Catholics, which legally included converted Jews, who were now officially Catholic.”
