Ad extirpanda

1 rnandanius, in remissionem vobis peccatorum, eorummodo iniungentes, qualenus tam per vos, quam per alios idoneos fratres vestrae curae commissos, quibus negotium huiusmodi, quod principaliter residet cordi nostro, auctoritate nostra duxeritis committendum, totis assumentes affectibus, et ferventibus animis prosequentes, ad extirpandam de provincia tuae, fili minister, curae commissa, pravitatem haereticam sollicite ac efficaciter laborantes, si quos ibi de pravitate ipsa culpabiles inveneritis, vel infectos, seu etiam infamatos, nisi examinati velint absolute mandatis Ecclesiae obedire, contra ipsos, et receptatores, defensores, ac fautores eorum, humano timore postposito, iuxta sanctiones canonicas, auctoritate apostolica procedatis: invocato contra eos ad hoc, si opus fuerit, auxilio brachii saecularis. Contradictores per censuram ecclesiasticam, remoto appellationis obstaculo, compescendo.

2 § 2. Si vero aliqui, haeretica labe penitus abiurata, redire voluerint ad ecclesiasticam unitatem, eis iuxta formam Ecclesiae absolutionis beneficium impendenles, iniungatis eisdem, quod iniungi talibus consuevit. Proviso solerter ne simulata conversione redeant fraudulenter, et vos, imo potius se fallentes, sub agni specie gerant lupum.

3 § 5. Quod si forte, quod non credimus, aliqui, cuiuscumque conditionis huic quoque negotio se opponere, seu illud praesumant aliquatenus impedire, ut non possit per vos procedi libere in eodem, imo nisi cum requisiti fuerint, illud etiam invenerint studiose, contra eos, secundum sanctiones canonicas, eadem auctoritate libere procedatis.

4 § 4. Ut autem praedicta possitis uberius et liberius exercere, vobis largiendi indulgentia viginti vel quadraginta dierum quoties opportunum viderilis, omnibus vere poenitentibus et confessis, qui ad vestram praedicationem propter hoc faciendam accesserint, plenam tenore praesentium concedimus potestatem.

5 § 5. Illis vero qui ad impugnandos haereticos, fautores, receptatores et defensores eorum, vobis ex animo auxilium, seu praestabunt consilium vel favorem, de omnipotentis Dei misericordia, et beatorum Petri et Pauli apostolorum eius auctoritate confisi, tres annos de iniuncta sibi poenitentia relaxamus. Et si qui ex iis ad prosecutionem huiusmodi negotii, contra praedictos haereticos, fautores, receptatores, vel etiam defensores, personaliter ierint, eis omnium peccatorum, de quibus corde contriti, et ore confessi fuerint, plenam veniam indulgemus.

6 § 6. Compescendi quoque, monitione facta praemissa, per censuram ecclesiasticam, qua appellationis postposita, Praedicatores quaesitores, quorum interest tantum charitativa subsidia simpliciter petere, ac indulgentiam, si quam forte habent, exponere, a praedicationis officio, quod ad ipsos nullatenus pertinet, liberam vobis tribuimus facultatem. Quod si simul iis non intuleritis, unus vestrum ea nihilominus exequatur.

Testo inglese

1 rnandanius, in remission of your sins, enjoining upon them such things as, both through you and through other suitable brothers committed to your care, to whom you shall judge this business, which principally resides in our heart, to be committed by our authority, undertaking with all affection and fervent souls, pursuing it, to labor diligently and effectively in extirpating from the province committed to your care, son minister, heretical depravity, if you shall find any there culpable of that depravity itself, or infected, or even defamed, unless examined they shall wish absolutely to obey the mandates of the Church, against those same and their receivers, defenders, and supporters, human fear being set aside, according to canonical sanctions, you shall proceed by apostolic authority: invoking against them for this, if it shall be necessary, the aid of the secular arm. Those contradicting by ecclesiastical censure, the obstacle of appeal being removed, you shall restrain.

2 § 2. But if indeed any, having completely abjured the heretical stain, shall wish to return to ecclesiastical unity, extending to them the benefit of absolution according to the form of the Church, you shall enjoin upon those same what is accustomed to be enjoined upon such. It being provided carefully lest they return by simulated conversion fraudulently, and you, or rather deceiving themselves, bear the wolf under the appearance of a lamb.

3 § 5. But if perhaps, which we do not believe, any of whatever condition shall oppose themselves to this business also, or shall presume to impede it in any way, so that it cannot be proceeded with freely by you in the same, indeed unless when required they shall have found it studiously, against those same, according to canonical sanctions, by the same authority you shall proceed freely.

4 § 4. But so that you may be able to exercise the aforesaid more fully and more broadly, we grant to you an indulgence of twenty or forty days, as often as it shall seem opportune to you, to all truly penitent and confessed, who shall have come to your preaching made for this reason, we concede full power by the tenor of these presents.

5 § 5. But to those who, in order to impugn heretics, supporters, receivers and defenders of the same, shall have rendered to you aid from the heart, or counsel or favor, trusting in the mercy of almighty God, and in the authority of the blessed Apostles Peter and Paul, we remit three years of the penance enjoined upon them. And if any of those shall have gone personally to the prosecution of this business, against the aforesaid heretics, supporters, receivers, or even defenders, to them of all sins, of which contrite in heart and confessed by mouth they shall have been, we grant full pardon.

6 § 6. You shall also restrain, admonition being made as aforesaid, by ecclesiastical censure, the obstacle of appeal being set aside, Preachers and Questors, to whom it pertains only to ask charitable subsidies simply, and to set forth the indulgence, if they happen to have any, from the office of preaching, which in no way pertains to them, we grant you free faculty. But if you shall not have attended to this at the same time, one of you shall nevertheless execute it.

7 Given at the Lateran on the fifteenth day before the Kalends of April, in the eleventh year of our pontificate. Given on 18 March 1254, pontificate year xi.
