Demon Crowley received thanks for the Spanish Inquisition. He was indeed living in Spain at the time, spending his time mainly in taverns, and had no idea about any Inquisition until he received congratulations on a job well done.

Quote Explanation: The Tribunal of the Holy Office of the Inquisition is a court created in 1478 by the Catholic monarch Ferdinand II of Aragon and Isabella I of Castile. Called to maintain the purity of the Catholic faith in their subjects, and also to replace the medieval Inquisition, which was under papal supervision. The Inquisition worked in large part to ensure the canonicity of the faith of converts, especially Jews, Muslims and others forced on pain of death to convert to Catholicism. To this day, the Spanish Inquisition is considered the most brutal in history.
