Encyclopedia > Ad extirpanda

Ad extirpanda is a papal bull issued on May 15, 1252, by Pope Innocent IV. It authorized the use of torture for eliciting confessions from heretics during the Inquisition and explicitly condoned the practice of executing relapsed heretics by burning them alive.

Heresy Of The Conspiracy Theorists (862 words)
An increase of “heresies” from about 1150 A.D. caused the papacy to devise a “protective response and means of repression.” Cautious, tentative measures culminated eventually in the ecclesiastical tribunal known as the Inquisition.
The Bull, Ad Extirpanda (“to extirpate”), prescribed the extirpation of “heresy” as the chief duty of the State.
Ad Extirpanda effectively established a police state in Italy and is notable for having introduced the use of torture (judicium seculare) into inquisitorial procedure.
