The medieval Inquisition was not greatly concerned about the
study of the stars, and it does not rank especially high as
a cause of suffering. Even the post-medieval Inquisition,
which was considerably more repressive intellectually and
responsible for much more suffering, was more concerned
about the results of such study than about the study itself.
And this has nothing that I can see to do with Indo-European
studies.
