The date October 11, 1231, marks a significant turning point in the history of the #Inquisition in Europe when Pope Gregory IX tasked Conrad of Marburg with setting up instances of the Inquisition Tribunal throughout the Holy Roman Empire. This papal decree represents a pivotal moment in the expansion of the Inquisition beyond the borders of Spain, where it was originally established to combat Cathar heresy. Conrad of Marburg, a Premonstratensian canon priest, was appointed as the first German inquisitor, and his role in this historical context proved to be of paramount importance. #history #catholicism https://activite-paranormale.net/event/read/220/establishment-of-the-inquisition-in-the-germanic-empire
