the inquisitor general
the roman catholic church has regarded freemasonry as heretical since about 1738; the "suspicion" of freemasonry was potentially a capital offense. spanish inquisition records reveal two prosecutions in spain and only a few more throughout the spanish empire. in 1815, francisco javier de mier y campillo, the inquisitor general of the spanish inquisition and the bishop of almería, suppressed freemasonry and denounced the lodges as "societies which lead to atheism, to sedition and to all errors and crimes." he then instituted a purge during which spaniards could be arrested on the charge of being "suspected of freemasonry".
