the inquisition
one of the main arguments made by isabella's detractors is that she established the notorious spanish inquisition. But now even mainstream historians are calling its "notorious" nature a thing of myth.
"historians are discovering that the common notion of the spanish inquisition [which isabella established] as some horrible, fanatical, all encompassing bloodthirsty monster could not be further from the truth," reported the myth of the spanish inquisition, a 1994 bbc documentary. "their conclusions come from the first-time ever study of the actual cases taken from the archives of the inquisition itself. Studying the archives of the inquisition demolished the previous image that all of us had."
professor stephen haliczer of northern university of illinois notes in the documentary, "the inquisition compared to other tribunals in other countries has a virtually clean record in respect to torture." in fact, he said, "i found instances of prisoners in secular criminal courts blaspheming in order to get into the inquisition prison."
isabella and the jews
the other major argument against the queen's character comes from her expulsion of jews from spain. Rabbi leon klenecki, responsible for interfaith affairs for the jewish american defamation league in new york, said that, when combined with the recent declaration dominus iesus (the lord jesus) and the beatification of pope pius ix, to promote isabella's canonization would be "peculiar and negative." "isabella was a disaster for spain because she expelled the jews and muslims who had created an incredible m
t for spain, with all three groups living together in relative peace," he said.
Warren carroll, chairman of the history department of christendom college, disagreed that dominus iesus is offensive. It teaches nothing new beyond the basic christian message of salvation, he said, and blessed pius ix had the walls of rome's jewish ghetto taken down. But carroll, a strong proponent of isabella's canonization and author of isabella of spain: The catholic queen, admits that her cause was not going forward because expelling the jews from spain in 1492 was a mistake.
"while some of the jews were conspiring against her – though it is politically incorrect to say so, it is true – not all of them were," he said. "certainly the w
and children were not." father gutierrez, the former postulator, puts this incident under the heading of "difficulties with the cause" in his notes. But he is quick to note about the expulsion that "it was strictly political. ... It could even have been a political error, perfectly compatible with sanctity." and the committee for canonization insists "that queen isabella did not act out of any anti-semitic, racial or religious hatred or bigotry can be firmly substantiated by her unequivocal condemnation of, and personal interventions to stop, riots and acts of violence against spaniards of jewish descent ... Sometimes at the loss of support of wealthy and influential partisans." it adds, "there were three killings of jews between the years 1470 and 1478. One of the most powerful reasons queen isabella asked them to leave spain was to avoid another massacre of jews.
