I support the work of new religious orders such as the Barnabites, Capuchins, Theatines, Ursulines, and Somaschi.

I established the Roman Inquisition to check the spread of Lutheranism in Italy. My main goal is to clarify doctrine and correct abuses.

I studied at the University of Pisa and at the court of Lorenzo the Magnificent.
