PASQUALIGO, ZACCARIA. - Theatine religious, canonist and one of the classic authors in moral theology. Born in Verona in 1600, he taught philosophy in Padua, then scholastic theology for 15 years in Rome, where he died on 17 February 1664.

His principal work is entitled De Sacrificio Novae Legis quaestiones theologico-iuridico-morales (2 vols., Lyon 1662, with subsequent editions), in which the author exhausts the subject in 1347 questions. He also wrote: Decisiones morales iuxta principia theologica et sacras atque civiles leges (Verona 1641). The work embraces 510 decisions, and in it are found reviewed and sifted the opinions of previous theologians and canonists; but because of its laxist tendencies, by decree of 18 May 1683 it was placed on the Index « donec corrigatur ». The same happened to his other work: De statu supernaturali humanae naturae sacra moralis doctrina (Venice 1650), by decree of 12 May 1655: once corrected, the work was rehabilitated by decree of the Holy Office of 19 March 1656. Two other works are casuistic in character: Variarum quaestionum moralium canonicarum centuriae (4 vols., ibid. 1647-52); Singulares selectae quaestiones morales-iuridicae (ibid. 1662: comprising 520 questions).
