The Council of Macon, A.D. 581, inflicted on offenders the penalty of. thirty days' imprisonment, with fasting on bread and water. The Synod of Winchester, A.D. 1070, also forbade it. Clement V allowed the clergy to carry arms when necessary for self- defence, as did also St. Charles Borromeeo. (See WAR, CHRISTIAN VIEWS) OF.
