The Holy Roman Inquisition, or The Holy Office as it was commonly known, was formally established in Malta shortly after the Order settled here. Martin Luther The official purpose of the Inquisition was to stomp out 'heresy' and, with the ever increasing number of visitors to the Maltese Islands that followed the arrival of the Order of St. John, Protestantism (Lutherism) was perceived by the Catholic Church to be a most serious threat. But this was not the only problem facing the authority of the church. The practice of folk magic (often attributed to the presence of Moorish and Turkish slaves on the island) was another major concern. Historian, Carmel Cassar tells us that the people themselves often sought remedy against the threat of 'wise women' and non-conformists through the Holy Office; their accusations often being unfounded and irrelevant. accused witch The Inquisitor was nobody's friend. During most of its existence of well over 200 years, the Holy Office operated independently of the authority of the Bishop of Malta, such that not even clergymen were above his distrustful surveillance. But it is probably safe to say that, above all else, he was always at odds with the Order itself, which perceived the Inquisitor to be an unnecessary hindrance and must have feared his daunting presence on the Maltese Islands. For the Holy Office, the people's crimes were considered to be minor when compared to the practice of the so-called 'learned magic' attributed to the Knights of St. John, the educated caste and to the clerics themselves. In fact, Vittorio Cassar, son of the prominent Girolamo Cassar and himself one of the Order's military engineers, is reported to have been accused and sentenced by the Inquisition for the practice of magic.
