Poor, naive Morgan. The sheer levels of "Subverting Expectations" media has gone under these past few years means you're the not-even-pretending-to-hide-it levels of genocidal bastardry faction.

Witch Hunters and Witchfinder only targeted individuals. The Inquisition targeted Cultures. Cultures unlike individuals hold long grudges which is why Pope John Paul II asked for forgiveness from the Jewish people back on March 13, 2000.
I think Berserk manga had a take on it.
The "angelic" Griffith being the Anti-Christ allegory and the "demonic" Guts being the Jesus allegory.
At least in dark fantasy interpretation of "Good and Evil".
Of course Morgan would consider herself the "good guy".
She's pretentious beyond what words can describe :D
Buuut in her defense, while evil will often think of itself as being right and will doll itself up in light and beauty etc, actual good on a higher level doesn't go full Death Knight...
Ah, Spanish Inquisition, the eternal bogie. I wonder why nobody ever mentions Matthew Hopkins, the Witchfinder General of England, or any other with trials in Protestant countries which were completely non-clerical?
This is a slippery slop subject so open to abuse its not funny.
Take the swastika, Ancient religious symbol used in various parts Eurasia going back as far as the Greeks. Then the Nazi's tried to use it as a symbol of their party and became a symbol of hate.

We can also look at the crusades or better yet the Spanish Inquisition that started as a way to remove heretics from the courts of Europe. Soon it became a witch hunt for people who might disagree with church up until 1834.

I wont get started on how bad the church was during that time other then to compare it to the FBI. A part of the US government that started as a way to go after communists spy's. But that was a ruse for Hoover to go after people he had issues with legally. People like Martin Luther King jr.
Basically History is written by the victor. But as the first season of Dare Devil shows the Kingpin thought he was the Hero of his own story. Me I'll take the Black Armor, Skull pauldron and Giant Blood Red Blade in place of white.
nowadays, there are many stories where the "white angelic" side is actually the evil ruling one, and the oppressed good people are forced to use "bad" powers and looks to undo the real evil from the ruling side
like, evil human supremacist vs good multicultural demons
Often enough, nowadays, it tends to be more "Lawful Evil vs Chaotic Evil" with LE's foot soldiers being Lawful Good patsies that are too blinded by dogma to realize that their leaders are actually evil.
