Holy Inquisition

Explanation:Jesuits formed after the teachings of Saint Ignatius Loyola, as an elite order of highly educated men at the time when the Counter-Reformation was regaining important spaces lost due to the Reform movement led by Luther.

These noblemen also called themselves the Society of Jesus and promoted better humanitarian practices and spiritual values than the highly criticized catholic priests.

The Jesuits practised many forms of philanthropy and converted millions around, so by no means they would act like prosecutors of people.

In contrast, the Holy Inquisition was a fierce group of Inquisitors who often tortured and criminalized dissidents of the Catholic faith.

While Inquisitors were always subject to the Pope, the Jesuits acknowledge his authority but had many liberties and expressions that made them become among one of the more progressive movements since the times of the Counter-Reformation to our times.
