"Again, although Sylvester (Mazzolini, also PRIERIAS, Theologian, b. at Priero, Piedmont, 1460; died in Rome, 1523) discourses at great length on the power of the Pope, yet, under the word infideles (§ 7), he expressly maintains against Hostiensis that unbelievers can not be compelled by arms to recognize this lordship and can not be deprived of their property on this pretext. And Innocent maintains the same in X 3.34.8 (Quod super hiis). There is also no doubt that this was the opinion of St. Thomas too (Secunda Secundae, qu. 66, art. 8, on obj. 2)."
