The most important bit is that from 1500 till his death
ca.1505 he was 'censor fidei' (guardian of the faith), at
the instigation of Pope Alexander VI combating the Moravians
and prosecuting witches in Bohemia and Moravia.

The source is the Biographisch-Bibliographisches
Kirchenlexikon; this particular entry is in volume 2,
published in 1990, and is by one Reinhard Tenberg. The
bibliography in the entry is extensive.

the Kirchenlexikon entry made no mention of such a
condemnation.
