		On July 21, 1542 Pope Paul III, with the Constitution Licet ab initio, established the Supreme Sacred Congregation of the Roman and Universal Inquisition, staffed with cardinals and other officials whose task it was "to maintain and defend the integrity of the faith and to examine and proscribe errors and false doctrines".
		It was changed to Sacred Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith on December 7, 1965, at the end of the Second Vatican Council.

	Untitled Document
		Founded in 1542 by Pope Paul III with the Constitution "Licet ab initio," the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith was originally called the Sacred Congregation of the Universal Inquisition as its duty was to defend the Church from heresy.
		Given the nature of its task, congregation work is divided into four distinct sections: the doctrinal office, the disciplinary office, the matrimonial office and that for priests.
		Weekly congregation meetings are held weekly, and are attended by officials and consultors.

	Index Librorum Prohibitorum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The very first lists were the work of the Sacred Congregation of the Inquisition of the Roman Catholic Church (the Holy Office, later the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith).
		Prohibitions made by other congregations (mostly the Holy Office) were simply passed on to the Congregation of the Index, where the final decrees were drafted and made public, after approval of the Pope (who always had the possibility to condemn an author personally--only a few examples, such as Lamennais and Hermes).
		The Congregation of the Index was abolished in 1917, when the rules on the reading of books were again reelaborated in the new Codex Iuris Canonici.

	The Inquisition
		Of The inquisition was one of the cruel weapons in the hands of popes who sanction torture in an attempt to force the conversion of bible believing Christians and Torah believing Jews to bow down to all of the pagan impregnated creeds of the Roman Catholic church.
		Once on the books of the inquisition the only way of escape was for each one to betray someone, a mother, a father, a brother, or a sister, that had failed to come forward.
		What the inquisition had problems with was not the fornication, but having to prove heresy amidst all this crowd because they themselves were overcome with the same lusts and fornication.

		The Inquisition, the monastic agents of the pope, were to have independent courts, of the most monstrous description, to ensure the condemnation of secret heretics, and they were then to hand them over to the secular arm and keep a sharp eye on any secular prince or official who failed to do his bloody work.
		The Inquisition weighed heavily on Italy (especially Lombardy), on Southern France (in particular the country of Toulouse and in Languedoc) and in the Kingdom of Aragon and on Germany.
		The Inquisition in France was suppressed by the secular authorities in 1772.

	EIPS - Apology or Inquisition?
		The investigating body at that time was known as the "Congregation of the Inquisition", but, far from repenting of the horrors perpetrated, this farcical commission was actually charged with justifying what had been done as commensurate with supposedly Christian "truth".
		It began in 1542, under Pope Paul III as the Congregation of the Inquisition to defend the Church against heresy.
		Hence the Congregation of the Inquisition established by Paul VI had nothing to do with genuine dialogue, but was formed in order "to defend the Church against heresy" – a purpose identical to that of the Inquisition.
