1. congregation of the inquisition

   The Congregation of the Inquisition, also known as the Holy Office of the Inquisition or Supreme Sacred Congregation of the Roman and Universal Inquisition, was a part of the Roman Catholic Church’s jurisdiction which was established to combat heresy. Founded in 1542 by Pope Paul III and later reorganised in 1908 by Pope Pius X, it was primarily responsible for maintaining the orthodoxy of Catholic doctrine and addressing any deviations. People suspected of heresy were subjected to trials known as Inquisitions. It has since evolved into the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, focusing on promoting and safeguarding the doctrine on faith and morals in the entire Catholic world.
