The Roman Institute of the Görres Society (RIGG) is a foreign institute of the Görres Society located in Campo Santo Teutonico in Vatican City. It was founded in 1888 and is mainly involved in the field of church history and Christian archaeology as well as in the related subjects. Together with the College of Priests in Campo Santo Teutonico, it maintains a library managed by it. The Römische Viertelschrift für Christliche Altertumskunde und Kirchengeschichte is published jointly by the Kolleg and the Institute. Stefan Heid has been director of the institute since 2011 (as of 2020). His deputy is Johannes Grohe.
Vatican City? No shit. We know that's Satan's nest.

Görres Society?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%B6rres_Society
The Görres Society (German: Görres-Gesellschaft) is a German learned society, whose goal is to foster interdisciplinarity and apply scientific principles to different disciplines, based in the Catholic tradition. The Gorres society is divided into 20 sections, in which members meet at the annual general meeting
On the surface, not much to comment about. Now we go down the rabbit hole.
Here is the website for RIGG.

They seem to have an affinity for . . . wait for it . . . OWLS!
I spotted two of them on their main page when clicked to German.

(I know, I know, owls are often associated with education, but there is more.)
Nice red folder you got there...
You can translate, but he's just getting an award.

Notice the upside down cross? Why is an institute located in Vatican City using a publisher whose logo has a very visible upside down cross?

Look at the baby. Its elbow is resting on a skull. It appears to have bones in its hands and one hand is covering its left eye. Skull, bones, and one-eye symbolism. (although the visible bone is cut strangely on the end) I don't know what the veil is all about. I'm not familiar with that as a symbol. The thing on the left is NOT an owl. (I would have fell out of my chair.) It is some sort of vase? with a crested lion and some other animals. (antelope?)
It's late here and the owl outside my window seems to agree with my assessment. Ha!
