    Inquisition has four characters. A young priest who feels he has mistaken his vocation, a young husband who feels he had and still has a vocation to the priesthood adn his wife who, knowing this, has blackmailed him into marriage by attempting suicide. The priest and the wife blame God for their unhappiness; the husband is brought to believe that Heaven has duped him too because it was a revelation like dream which led him to accept his marriage as the Will of God. The three are joined by an old Prior, in charge of a miraculous shrine which is a place of pilgrimage, where the trio go to find a solution to 'the awful problem of human lonliness'.
