Have Any of the Popes Ever Issued a Sinful Edict?

The first to come to mind is the proclamation thar no person can be accepted by God into Heaven apart from being a confirmed Catholic.

The second would be that giving money to the Church on behalf of a deceased relative will help them escape Purgatory.

A third one is the murderous Inquisition where hundreds of thousands of people were arrested, tortured, and murdered for identical accusations.

Do any of you Catholics have a correct answer about these historic realities?
