The Inquisition:

Inquisitions were Roman Catholic groups made to fight against heresy and other forms of irregular religious beliefs and practices. The church saw some of the hersey groups as hostile and were a menace to the Christian society, the church thought that inquisitors were a necessity.

In Medieval inquisitions torture was not allowed but Pope Innocent lll authorized it in 1252.
