Example: Officer and his platoon hold out against a xenos invasion in a church. Guardsmen win in a giant stand. But the church is destroyed in the fighting. The Inquisition call it HERETICAL and execute him and his platoon.-Dawn of War Map description. First of all yes, it does uphold it original purpose. And the purpose of the Inquisition is to seek out the enemies of the mankind and destroy them in order to protect the Imperium. The Inquisition plays no small part in protecting the Imperium - it would be a mistake to say that the Imperium have survived for 10,000 years without their aid.

Second of all, I see that you like to judge a whole organisation by the deeds of one individual. Remember that the Inquisition is an non-hierarchic group that is full of agents who have their own ways and ideas to fight the enemies of Man.

Saying that the Inquisition did not uphold their original purpose because they killed a group of guardsmen for allowing a temple to be destroyed - is like saying that the Space Marines are bad because there is a one individual Chapter (Marines Malevolent) who allowed Orks to killa whole camp of innocent citizens during the Third War for Armageddon so they could lure the Orks.
