# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Born Ugolino di Conti in 1145, he worked as a cardinal before ascending to the papacy on 19 March 1227 as successor to Honorius III. He inherited the legacy of his cousin Innocent III and of Gregory VII, and pressed their vision of papal supremacy with the same zeal. When the episcopal inquisitions established under Pope Lucius III's 1184 bull Ad abolendam proved ineffective, Gregory instituted the Papal Inquisition to centralize the hunt for heresy. He also issued the Decretales, consolidating scattered church law into a unified code. He died on 22 August 1241, fourteen years into a papacy that tightened Rome's doctrinal grip.
