BENZI, BERNARDINO. - Jesuit moralist, b. in Venice on 16 July 1688, d. there on 28 Feb. 1768. Having entered the religious order in 1705, he subsequently taught grammar, rhetoric and philosophy in various colleges, then theology in Venice.

One of his works, Dissertatio in casus reservatos Venetae diaccesos (Venice 1743), was placed on the Index on 16 Apr. 1744 on account of a proposition "de tactu mamillari," and the same fate befell, on 22 May 1745, the Praxis tribunalis conscientiae seu tractatus theologicus moralis de sacramento paenitentiae (Bologna 1742). Around these incidents there erupted a polemic of extreme violence between Dominican theologians (Concina, Patuzzi, etc.) and Jesuits (B., Faure, Poli, etc.).
