158 THE INQUISITION to use torture without the Bishop s consent, be reached within eight days. 1 if he could "Bernard Gui emphatically remonstrated against this as seriously crippling the efficiency of the Inquisition, and proposed to substitute for it the meaningless phrase that torture should only be used with mature and careful deliberation, but his suggestion was not heeded, and the Clementine regulations remained the law of the Church." 2 The code of the Inquisition was now practically com plete, for succeeding Popes made no change of any impor tance. The data before us prove that the Church forgot her early traditions of toleration, and borrowed from the Roman jurisprudence, revived by the legists, laws and practices which remind one of the cruelty of ancient paganism. But once this criminal code was adopted, she endeavored to mitigate the cruelty with which it was enforced. If this preoccupation is not always visible and it is not in her condemnation of obdurate heretics we must at least give her the credit of insisting that torture "should never imperil life or injure limb": Cogere citra membri diminutionem et mortis periculum. We will now ask how the theologians and canonists interpreted this legislation, Inquisition 1 enforced it. Decretal, Multorum querela. and how the tribunals of the 2 Lea, op. cit., vol. i, p. 424; Bernard Gui, Practica, ed. Douais, 4 pars, p. 188. Bernard Gui did not hesitate to assert (ibid., p. 174) that the bulls of Clement V: Multorum querela and Nolentes ought to be modified or even repealed so as to give more freedom to the Inquisitors: indigent ut remedientur, suspendantur aut moderentur in melius, seu potius totaliter.
CHAPTER VIII THEOLOGIANS, CANONISTS, AND CASUISTS OF THE IN QUISITION THE gravity of the crime of heresy was early recognized in the Church. Gratian discussed this question in a special chapter of his Decretum. 1 Innocent III, Guala the Dominican, and the Emperor Frederic II, as we have seen, looked upon heresy as treason against Almighty God, i.e. the most dreadful of crimes. The theologians and even the civil authorities did not concern themselves much with the evil effects of heresy upon the social order, but viewed it rather as an offense made no distinction between against God. Thus they those teachings which entailed injury on the family and on society, and those which merely denied certain re vealed truths. Innocent III, in his constitution of Sep tember 23, 1207, legislated particularly against the Patarins, but he took care to point out that no heretic, no matter what the nature of his error might be, should be allowed to escape the full penalty of the law. 2 Fred- 1 Causa xxxi, q. vii, cap. 16. 2 "Servanda in perpetuum lege sancimus ut quicumque hcereticus, maxime Paterenus . . . protinus capiatur et tradatur secular! curiae puniendus secundum legitimas sanctiones," etc. Ep. x, 130. 159
