Pope Boniface VIII

Pope Boniface VIII (born Benedetto Caetani, c. 1235 – October 11, 1303) was the 192nd Pope of the Roman Catholic Church, serving from 1294 to 1303. A member of the Italian Caetani noble family, he was known for his legal expertise and diplomatic skills. Boniface VIII is remembered for his fierce defense of papal authority against secular rulers, most notably King Philip IV of France. He issued the famous papal bull Unam Sanctam in 1302, declaring papal supremacy over all secular monarchs. His conflict with Philip IV over taxation rights led to his arrest and humiliation at Avignon in 1303, after which he died shortly thereafter. Boniface VIII is considered the last major representative of medieval papal temporal power. more

“The Most Holy Roman Church firmly believes, professes and preaches that none of those existing outside the Catholic Church, not only pagans, also Jews, heretics, and schismatics can ever be partakers of eternal life, but that they are to go into the eternal fire 'which was prepared for the devil and his angels' (Mt. 25:41) unless before death they are joined with Her... No one, let his almsgiving be as great as it may, no one, even if he pour out his blood for the Name of Christ can be saved unless they abide within the bosom and unity of the Catholic Church.”

“Some say they are not bound by the doctrine which teaches that the Mystical Body of Christ and the Roman Catholic Church are one and the same thing. Some reduce to a meaningless formula the necessity of belonging to the true Church in order to gain eternal salvation. Others finally belittle the reasonable character of the credibility of Christian Faith. These and like errors, it is clear, have crept in among certain of our sons who are deceived by imprudent zeal for souls or by false science.”

“How dangerous it is rashly to adopt the Mosaical institutions [Old Testament teachings of eye for an eye]. Laws might have been proper for a tribe of ardent barbarians wandering through the sands of Arabia which are wholly unfit for an enlightened people of civilized and gentle manners.”

“Imposition of the death penalty is arbitrary and capricious. Decision of who will live and who will die for his crime turns less on the nature of the offense and the incorrigibility of the offender and more on inappropriate and indefensible considerations: the political and personal inclinations of prosecutors; the defendant's wealth, race and intellect; the race and economic status of the victim; the quality of the defendant's counsel; and the resources allocated to defense lawyers.”
