Torquemada: Spanish Cleric and Grand Inquisitor

Written by Kelly Mass

Narrated by Chris Newman

The Spanish inquisition was nasty in the 15th century. I am glad we don’t live in those times anymore. We have our own problems to deal with here. But back then, in some countries, primarily the Catholic-dominated ones in Europe, being called a heretic, a witch, or a sinner meant business. It could mean the end of your life. And often, you had nothing to defend yourself with. There weren’t enough fancy lawyers to stand up to the Catholic Church. And so, it is with a tragic view on the past that we see countless innocent victims being accused of something they never did, with no bad intentions or rebellious behavior, and nonetheless being executed in brutal manners.

One of the proponents of this system, and active executioners, was Thomas de Torquemada, a completely insane, cruel man who had become notorious for his methods of hunting down and taking out supposed anti-church offenders. Let’s study his life and acts more in this book.

Reviews for Torquemada

[Robert Knutsen · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

If I would have to outline it, it would be simply in 1 word: Fantastic! The pronunciation of the words in this audiobook was fantastic, in addition to all the information contained in it. Based on that, I am glad that I bought the book. It was worth my time. I wish I was truly great at writing testimonials, but you'll simply have to be satisfied with this average recommendation, namely, that the audiobook was interesting all the way through, till the very end.
