This chart shows examples of crimes that the Holy Office of the Inquisition was able to prosecute in New Spain on behalf of the Roman Pontiffs. New Spain comprised what is now the Southwestern UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Mexico, Central America, and much of the Caribbean; and New Castile, with Peru as its center, comprising almost all of South America. Popes in previous centuries have rewarded fervent members of the Church Militant (with indulgences equal to those granted the Crusaders) for their zeal in helping Holy Mother Church CRUSH ALL heretics/schismatics. NOTE: If you have info that may assist the Church in its War against Her enemies - email.
