Pope Benedict XIV, Bullarium, Tomus Secundus, in quo continentur constitutiones, epistolae, aliaque edita ab anno MDCCXLVI usque ad totum annum MDCCXLVIII (Volume 5; Melchin: 1826)  24-30 "Sed quoniam facta huiusmodi frequenter Romae et alibi audiuntur; quotienscumque vero id accidit, multae hinc statim opiniones maximeque diversae" 1. Jewish children cannot be baptized if their parents are unwilling; if the child is baptized, the child cannot remain with the parents: the opinion of Calderini is wrong 2. If the father is a Christian and the wife is unwilling, the child can be baptized; the son is under the authority of the father not the mother(patriapotestas) 3. If the mother becomes a Christian, she can have the children baptized validly 4. If the father is dead and the grandfather is a Christian he can decide that the child should  be baptized, even if the mother is unwilling 5. If a priest is coerced to baptize children because infidels think that will bring the children the benefits of health, the baptism is valid. 6. If a child is sick and dying a valid baptism can be performed because of necessity Marina Caffiero, Battesimi forzati: Storie di ebrei, cristiani e convertiti nella Roma dei papi (Rome: 2004), translated by Lydia G.
