http://userwww.sfsu.edu/~draker/history/Ad_Extirpanda.html
A Proclamation of the Laws and Regulations to be Followed by Magistrates and
Secular Officials against Heretics and their Accomplices and Protectors
Innocent, the Bishop, Servant of the Servants of God, to his beloved sons, the heads
of state or rulers, ministers and citizens established in the states and districts of
Lombardy, Riviera di Romagnola, and Marchia Tervisina, salvation and an
apostolic benediction.
To root up from the midst of Christian people the weed
1
of heretical wickedness,
which infests the healthy plants more than it formerly did, pouring out
licentiousness through the offices of the enemy of mankind in this age the more
eagerly (as we address ourselves to the sweated labor of the task assigned us) the
more dangerously we overlook the manner in which this weed runs riot among the
Catholic growth.
2
Desiring, then, that the sons of the church, and fervent adherents
of the orthodox faith, rise up and make their stand against the artificers of this kind
of evildoing, we hereby bring forth to be followed by you as by the loyal defenders
of the faith, with exact care, these regulations, contained serially in the following
document, for the rooting-up of the plague of heresy.
1. In what we gave to your community in apostolical writings, amounting to
regulations that we wrote for your legal codes, never at any time to be repealed,
making war according to these regulations against all heresy, which rears its head
above this holy church, you have gone forward without stint.
3
However, I have sent
a letter to my beloved sons, the Dominican priors, provincials and inquisitors into
heretical wickedness in Lombardy, Marchia Tervisina and Riviera di Romagnola,
commanding each of you that you compel recalcitrant individuals by your
excommunication and countries by your interdict to submit (sc. to the new
regulations).
The Laws and Regulations then Are as Follows:
Law 25.
26. The head of state or ruler must force all the heretics whom he has in custody,
8
provided he does so without killing them or breaking their arms or legs, as actual
robbers and murderers of souls and thieves of the sacraments of God and Christian
faith, to confess their errors and accuse other heretics whom they know, and specify
their motives,
9
and those whom they have seduced, and those who have lodged them
and defended them,as thieves and robbers of material goods are made to accuse
their accomplices and confess the crimes they have committed.
