Inquisit. s. v.Hæreticus, §Pertinax.Although simony was the universally corroding vice of the Church, and although it was reckoned as a heresy, it was too profitable to the hierarchy ever to be subjected to the Inquisition. In a project of instructions for the Spanish delegates to the Lateran Council in 1512, simoniacal heresy is denounced as the universal destruction of the Church, owing to the openness with which it is practised in Rome and throughout Christendom, and they are told to labor to have it prosecuted as heresy by the Inquisition—(Döllinger, Beiträge zur politischen kirchlichen und Cultur-Geschichte, III, 204).[820]Fueros de Aragon, fol. 110.

The Constitution of 1812, he says, was an exotic that took no root in the soil; the mass of the people, plunged in ignorance and misery, knew of it only by hearing from their spiritual guides that it was a tissue of impieties.—De la Guerra Civil de España, p. 88 (Madrid, 1836).[888]Toreno, II, 208, 211, 223, 249.—Coleccion de los Decretos y Ordenes que han expedido las Córtes Generales, I, 1-3 (Madrid, 1820).[889]Vélez, Apología del Altar y del Trono, I, 107-10, 113-19, 211-12 (Madrid, 1825).—Coleccion de Decretos, I, 16.[890]These letters have been repeatedly reprinted.

All officials who had in any way been concerned with the French were required to be purified—that is, to give proofs of patriotism. This so-called purification came repeatedly in play in the kaleidoscopic changes of Spanish politics.[898]Vélez, Apología, I, 214, 384-5, 399-418.[899]Vélez, Apología, I, 134-52, 217, 219.—Toreno, III, 105-10.[900]Discusion del Proyecto, pp. 40-1, 398.[901]Discusion, pp. 38-40.—The law of the Partidas thus revived was P.VII, Tit. xxvi, ley 2, which says that heretics can be accused by any one before a bishop or his vicar, who shall examine them on the articles of faith and sacraments. If error is found he must labor to convert them by reason and persuasion when, if willing to be converted, they are to be reconciled and pardoned. If persistent they are to be handed over to the secular judge for punishment by fire or otherwise. The revival of the law was only as regards the functions of the bishops.[902]Ibidem, pp. 42-7.[903]Cartas del Filósofo Rancio, II, 453.—Menéndez y Pelayo, III, 473.—Discusion, pp 215, 229, 397.[904]Discusion del Proyecto, pp. 59, 325, 495, 564, 630-9, 683, 687.—Coleccion de Decretos, III, 215, 220.—Archivo hist. nacional, Inq. de Valencia, Leg. 100.—Archivo de Simancas, Inq., Lib. 890.The decree concerning property continued the salaries of all officials.

The Inquisition was more humane than the Castilian courts. Jan. 27, 1637, two culprits were burnt in Madrid. Oct. 14, 1639, two more were burnt and a third was brought out to share the same fate, when the episcopal vicar claimed him, as he had been decoyed from the asylum of a church. Nine more were in prison at the time. Oct. 10, 1640, a man and a boy were burnt.—Cartas de Jesuitas (Mem. hist, español, XIV, 26; XV, 343).—Pellicer, Avisos históricos (Semanário erúdito, XXXI, 87, 228).

In Mexico there was a special quemadero for such cases, distinct from that of the Inquisition.—Obregon, Mexico viejo, II, 391.

[887]Even Evaristo San Miguel, one of theexaltadosof 1822 who, as secretary of State, was largely responsible for the follies which invited the French intervention of 1823, admits the errors of the Córtes of Cádiz. The Constitution of 1812, he says, was an exotic that took no root in the soil; the mass of the people, plunged in ignorance and misery, knew of it only by hearing from their spiritual guides that it was a tissue of impieties.—De la Guerra Civil de España, p. 88 (Madrid, 1836).

All officials who had in any way been concerned with the French were required to be purified—that is, to give proofs of patriotism. This so-called purification came repeatedly in play in the kaleidoscopic changes of Spanish politics.

If error is found he must labor to convert them by reason and persuasion when, if willing to be converted, they are to be reconciled and pardoned. If persistent they are to be handed over to the secular judge for punishment by fire or otherwise. The revival of the law was only as regards the functions of the bishops.
