Inquisition
What would you take as evidence that Rome has the intention of reinstating the Inquisition if they have the power to do so?
From Wiki:
By 1500, the Catholic Church had reached an apparently dominant position as the established religious authority in western and central Europe dominating a faith-landscape in which Judaism, Waldensianism, Hussitism, Lollardry and the finally conquered Muslims al-Andalus (the Muslim-dominated Spain) hardly figured in terms of numbers or influence. When the institutions of the Church felt themselves threatened by what they perceived as the heresy, and then schism of the Protestant Reformation, they reacted. Paul III (Pope from 1534 to 1549) established a system of tribunals, administered 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 Saint Pius X renamed the organisation: it became the "Supreme Sacred Congregation of the Holy Office". This in its turn became the "Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith"[11] in 1965, which name continues to this day.
Doubt if they've burned many heretics lately but the organization is still around.

I don't know if you'll accept advice, but I would recommend something like meditation.
And above all, try to keep a positive attitude. If you can always look on the bright side of things, I think you'll find that things always look better!
Simple, and trite, but it has been known to do wonders.
I hope you can give these two suggestions a try.
