The ''Sacred Congregation of the Inquisition'' issued a decretal on 13 January 1897, forbidding anyone to question the authenticity of the Johannine Comma: its genuineness could neither be denied nor doubted. Pope Leo XIII confirmed this judgment two days later. On 2 June 1927, however, a new official declaration by the ''Holy Office'', as the successor institution to the ''Sacred Congregation of the Inquisition'', made Roman Catholic exegetes again free to discuss the question of the Johannine Comma.
