For centuries states have used their power to impose belief, censor information, conduct surveillance, manipulate & punish. Cullen Murphy explores the idea that the Inquisition - the Catholic body that existed in Europe for over 700 years - is not a medieval oddity, but is intrinsically bound up with the creation of the modern world.
