361.2.3

The same thing has been laid down by Sixtus IV.: 'Ne locorum diocesani vel alii ordinarii vel alii quicumque in personas aut [et] loca fratrum minorum contra privilegia exemptionis sibi quamcumque jurisdictionem aut superioritatem vindicare praesumant, et districte inhibuit ne quispiam absque Sedis Apostolicae speciali concessione aut auctoritate, in personas, domos, et loca dicti Ordinis Minorum (ut pote prorsus exempta) aliquas censuras vel sententias, specialiter vel generaliter audeat promulgare.' [That the local diocesans or other ordinaries, or any others whosoever, should not presume to arrogate to themselves any kind of jurisdiction or lordship over the persons or estates (lit. ' places ') of the Friars Minor contrary to their privileges of exemption ; and he strictly enjoined that no one without the special permission or authority of the Apostolic See should dare to publish, either specially or generally, any censures or sentences against the persons, houses, and estates of the said order of Minor Friars, seeing that they are entirely exempt.] Further, let us admit, gentlemen, that the Lord Bishop of San Thome possessed the power of excommunicating, or declaring excommunicated, the friars of the Order of St. Francis, notwithstanding the Privileges and Bulls of Martin V., Eugenius IV., Clement IV., and Sixtus IV. ;
