This is one of his Aurelio Zen series that are set in Italy.
These are well worth reading if you haven't already and a decent TV series was made from them.
In this book Inspector Zen while on a long distance flight was musing about the difference between Protestants and Catholics and the fact that he preferred Catholics.
"Protestants were an enigma to him, all high ideals one minute and ruthless expediency the next"
"You knew where you were in a catholic culture: up to your neck in lies, evasions, impenetrable mysteries, double-dealing, back-stabbing and underhand intrigues of every kind"

The Maleus Maleficarum?
I certainly didn't expect the Spanish Inquisition.
