New Year's Eve Mazzolini of Prierio ( Silvestro Mazzolini da Prieri ; * 1456 in Priero , Province of Cuneo , † 1523 in Rome ) was an Italian Dominican who was also known under the name Prierias . He was a theologian in the service of the Pope ( Magister sacri palatii ).

Life

Silvester grew up in Piedmont and completed his studies there. At the age of fifteen he entered the Dominican order , after another eight years he was ordained a priest . From 1490 until the turn of the century he studied in Bologna and Padua . He then worked as prior at various monasteries, worked from 1508 to 1510 as vicar general in the Lombardy region and at the same time became inquisitor in Brixen . In 1511 he became inquisitor in the Milan region and two years later prior in Cremona .

In the meantime he wrote a number of theological treatises such as Compendium Capreoli (1497), Tractatulus de digbolo (1502), Aurea rosa (1503), Tractatus de expositione missae (1509) and Malleus contra Scotistas (1514).

Silvester belonged to the commission that was entrusted with the Causa Lutheri and the initiation of a canonical process from the spring of 1518 . On behalf of Pope Leo X , he wrote In presumptuosas Martini Lutheri conclusions de potestate papae dialogus (1517) ( Dialogue against the arrogant theses of Martin Luther regarding the power of the Pope ). After successfully completing his studies, he was given a teaching position at the University of Bologna . Pope Leo X appointed him in 1514 to a chair in theology at the Roman University of La Sapienza . Mazzolini published a work on Church Doctrines and Ethics in 1515 that was very popular.

Another writing Dialogus de potestate papae was available to Cajetan and Luther in 1518 at the Diet of Augsburg in 1518 . He was one of the first to counter Martin Luther and the indulgence theses he had written with a theological report. This was probably already available in April or May 1518. Luther received this document together with the summons in Wittenberg on August 7, 1518. Pietras outlined four fundamental principles:

  • The universal Church is essentially the assembly of all believing Christians. The universal church is the Roman Catholic Church , the head of all churches, and the Pope is their head.
  • The universal Church cannot err in deciding beliefs and morals, including its leader, the Pope.
  • A heretic is someone who does not adhere to the teaching of the Roman clergy and the Pope.
  • Anyone who , with regard to indulgences, says that the Roman Church cannot do what it actually does is a heretic.
