Either some major Catholic news has transpired that I missed, or I've promulgated a misunderstanding here. As far as I knew, sometime around 1875 the Inquisition was officially dropped, and the list of banned books and ideas transferred to another entity, to be followed soon by members the inquisition's staff. Said entity was headed up by Ratzinger before he became Pope.
In my humble opinion, this chain of affairs does not bode well for continuing amicable relations between the Church and the rest of the western catholic world--much of which is seething resentfully over the 12th century attitudes of the Vatican.
The central Roman Church does believe it encompasses the western Roman Catholic world. Some western Roman Catholics disagree... well they aren't Roman Catholics at core if they do. Someone has to win this tug of war over the definition of what a Roman Catholic is, and if push came to shove the smart money would be on Rome. They're an authoritarian, highly hierarchical church, and have been so ever since mixing up with the Roman emperor for the first time. Surprise. not
