Catholic Church. Congregatio Romanae et Universalis Inquisitionis
The Congregatio Romanae et Universalis Inquisitionis was established by Paul III in 1542 as a permanent Roman commission of cardinals and tribunal of inquisition was set up with power to defend and maintain the integrity of the faith and to examine and proscribe errors and false teaching. The motu proprio of Pius X transferred the responsibilities of the Congregatio Romanae et Universalis Inquisitionis to the Congregatio Examinis Episcoporum on December 17, 1903. It was reorganized as the Congregatio Sancti Officii in 1908 by Pius X. Pope Paul VI reorganized the Congregatio Sancti Officii in 1965, when it would become the Congregatio pro Doctrina Fidei.
