The effect of the Inquisition in Spain during the 16th century was primarily to prevent the introduction and spread of Protestant religions (A). The Inquisition aimed to maintain religious orthodoxy and suppress any deviation from Catholicism, especially after the Reformation's rise in Europe. It sought to eradicate heresy and ensure the dominance of Catholicism in Spain, scrutinizing, persecuting, and expelling individuals suspected of practicing or promoting non-Catholic beliefs.
