The term '''inquisition''' can refer to either an investigation by the [[Roman Catholic]] Church into heresy, or to the department appointed to perform such investigations. This is currently titled the ''Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith'' since 1965, but was formerly been titled the ''Supreme Sacred Congregation of the Holy Office,'' and prior to that the ''Supreme Sacred Congregation of the Roman and Universal Inquisition.'' The Inquisition has been the subject of [[polemic]] against the [[Catholic Church]] by [[Protestantism|Protestants]], and has been carefully studied and demythologized by professional historians and scholars of different faiths and backgrounds to clear away inaccuracies, exaggerations and misunderstandings of the actual facts of the matter. Their findings have not always been accepted, even when indisputable evidence has been found and published.
