Pope Julius II, to Francesco Gonzaga, Marquess of Mantua, Dec. 17, 1511: “...It is distinguished for you in all diligence and charity that if any of the schismatics who were once cardinals, now detestable heretics, shall arrive in places of your jurisdiction, specifically Bernardinus Carvajal and Federicus of San Severino, they are to be captured at once, and in our name detained, even kept in custody until [such a time] we shall state otherwise.” [ My translation from the Latin: “Enitendum tibi est omni diligentia et caritate ut si qui ex scismaticis olim cardinalibus nunc hereticis detestabilibus in loca tuae ditionis pervenerint presertim Bernardinus Carvajal et Federicus de S. Severino illico capiantur et nomine nostra retineantur atque custodiantur donee aliud statuerimus.” (The copy is in the Gonzaga Archives, Mantua.) Cited in “The History of the Popes: From the Close of the Middle Ages” from the German of Dr. Ludwig Pastor.]
