Annotatio III §.VI: Berengar revokes the forced palinode — Hildebrand/Gregory VII beats him into a new substantial-conversion formula
Berengar, conscience-struck, published a revocation of that forced palinode as absurd and impious, calling the council a church of the malignant and of vanity.
Hildebrand (Gregory VII) summoned him to Rome, beat him with rods, and after a three-month truce forced a new formula: mystic bread substantially converted into Christ’s true proper flesh.
Latin
Quin tandem, cum Berengarius, ob negatam veritatem, sibi malè conscius, ad seipsum rediisset, & suam ipsius revocationem non minus absurdam quam impiam, scripto editô revocasset, eamque per vim sibi extortam esse ab Ecclesia malignantium & vanitatis Concilio, significasset, ab Hildebrando, aliis Hellenbrando, Gregorio VII. appellato, ad Romanum Concilium evocatus virgisque cæsus ad novam recantationem, trium mensium concessis induciis, coactus postliminio est, obtrusâ palinodiæ seu professionis ejusmodi formulâ, quâ panem mysticum substantialiter converti in veram & propriam carnem Christi, sub gravissimo Papæ præcepto, deinceps confitendum erat.
