The Pope's Exorcist / int_56515a39	type	Artistic License â€“ History
The Pope's Exorcist / int_56515a39	comment	Artistic License â€“ History: Despite what the film claims, its plot and story bear virtually no resemblance to the cited books of the real Gabriel Amorth. The latter certainly spoused some bizarre ideas about history, even speculating that the Nazi leaders might have been possesed by demons as a consequence of Nazi occultism, but he never claimed anything as extreme as that the whole Spanish Empire was puppeteered by a demon. The film repeats the myth that The Spanish Inquisition was "the darkest time of the Church". While the Spanish branch remains the most infamous in pop culture by several reasons, like foreign propaganda, modern Spanish attitudes against religion, and the trivia fact that it was the last major inquisition to be abolished,note Albeit it was also the last major inquisition to be established, and by the point it was abolished it had been a mostly vestigial organization for centuries. it was also the least bloody and murderous of all the Catholic inquisitions of any age, functioning more as a culture police within the period's justice standards than the militant nightmare that makes everybody's idea of an inquisition. One could also even dare to say that the time of the Spanish Inquisition was one of the brightest of the Catholic Church, not the darkest, given that it was also the time of The Renaissance, humanism, Erasmus of Rotterdam, the School of Salamanca, and many other - certainly far from the work of a devil as portrayed in the film. Alonso de Ojeda was really among the promoters and creators of the Spanish Inquisition, but he was neither the only nor the most influential of them (his circle included powerhouses like Cardinal Pedro GonzÃ¡lez de Mendoza and TomÃ¡s de Torquemada himself), and he was in charge of the inquisition for very little time, not enough to even set the guidelines of the whole thing. Needless to say, he wasn't an exorcist either.
