I still cannot get past the fact that he was the Grand Inquisitor...
The position was the Grand Inquisitor, then the Holy Office, and was known as the Perfect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. It is still an office to ensure that everyone and anyone in the church HAD to follow doctrine (as stupid as it could be) NO MATTER WHAT THE COST!!!!
Remember that Galileo Galilei stood in front of the Holy Office...

Oh well, I guess having a Nazi in this position was a great idea as he was able to apply items he learned in his youth all the way till today...
To quote Mr. Galilei, "and yet it moves!"
