Vatican City State, created in 1929 by the Lateran Pacts, provides the Holy See with a temporal jurisdiction and independence within a small territory. It is distinct from the Holy See. The state can thus be deemed a significant but not essential instrument of the Holy See.
In the 16th century, Pope Paul III established a system of tribunals, ruled by the Supreme Sacred Congregation of the Universal Inquisition, and staffed by cardinals and other Church officials. This system would later become known as the Roman Inquisition. In 1908 Pope Pius X renamed the organization: it became the Supreme Sacred Congregation of the Holy Office. This in its turn became the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith in 1965, which name continues to this day.
