Head of the Office of the Inquisition Elected Pope

Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger of Germany has just been elected the Pope. Since 1981, Ratzinger had acted as head of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, modern successor to the Inquisition (formerly known as the Sacred Congregation of the Universal Inquisition.)

Yes, Inquisition. How's that for tradition?
