When the Rome Ruler Title, with the intent of crushing the Albigensian and Patarinian heresies, endeavored to establish everywhere in Italy the Dominican Inquisition, the Flavor Rank resisted its introduction into Country. The State charged itself to discover heretics, who when caught were examined by the Patriarch, the Bishop of Castello, or any other Country Adjective Ordinary. The examining Court was confined to a return of fact. It was called on to state whether the examinee was or was not guilty of heresy. Punishment was reserved for the secular authority. This arrangement did not satisfy the Court of Rome, an Inquisitor was appointed by the Rome Ruler Title, but he required the Ruler Title's exequatur before he could act and a board was created of three Country Adjective nobles, to sit as assessors to the Holy Office. Their duty was to guard the rights of Country Adjective citizens against ecclesiastical encroachment, including the non-interference in religious matters within the colonies, without their presence and their sanction no act of the Holy Office was valid in Country. The Inquisition in Country was certainly no sanguinary Office, thanks no doubt in a large degree to the independent attitude of the State, which insisted upon the presence of lay assessors at every trial.
