The Inquisitor-General Pope Paul IV's "Cum ex Apostolatus officio" The Election of a Heretical Pope

http://www.23rdstreet.com/video_texts... Before delving into the issue of the Papal Bull itself let’s first take a closer look at Pope Paul IV to gain an understanding of the type of man he actually was. Pope Paul IV was born Giovanni Pietro Carafa on June 28, 1476. He became the 221st Pope who reigned from May 23, 1555 until his death in August 18, 1559. Peter De Rosa states in his book “Vicars of Christ: The Dark Side of the Papacy”: “The Romans said of him that had his mother foreseen his career she would have strangled him at birth.” As a Cardinal, Giovanni Carafa conjured up the idea of establishing the Sacred Roman Congregations, which was approved by Pope Paul III in 1542 and gave birth to the infamous Roman Inquisition. The Pope rewarded Cardinal Carafa with a position as one of the Inquisitor-Generals; which authorized him to imprison anyone on suspicion of heresy, confiscate their property and execute the guilty. At his own expense, he immediately bought and equipped a house with instruments of torture that were state-of-the-art. “No man”, he said, “may demean himself by tolerating heretics.” Another of his dicta was: “If my own father were a heretic, I would personally gather the wood to burn him.” ==================================== Pax Tecum CatholicsAgainstMhFM@23rdstreet.com | Crossroads@23rdstreet.com | DefendingTheFaith@23rdstreet.com http://www.23rdstreet.com
