The Council of Valence (855) ab
solutely prohibited duels, imposing
penance for homicide upon a man
who killed his antagonist, and de
priving a man slain of the Church’s
prayers. Among modern nations it
was' long the custom to settle af
fairs of honor by duel, and against
this custom the Church lias vigor
ously protested. Pope Julius pub
lished a bull strongly condemning
it in 1510; while the Council of
Trent excommunicated all who en
gaged in duels and those who coun
selled Or promoted them, besides
depriving persons who died in a duel
of Christian burial. Benedict XIV
in 1732 censured those who taught
that a man might accept a duel to
save jiis reputation for courage, or
to keep his post as an officer in
the army. Theologians leach that
such excuses do not save a man
from sin against the natural law,
or from incurring ecclesiastical pen
alties.
The Truce of God was an institu
tion of the Middle Ages designed
to mitigate the violence of private
war by prohibiting hostilities from
Thursday evening to Sunday eve
ning of each week, also during the
entire season of Advent and Lent
and ou certain festival days. Re
spect was shown to Thursday as
the day of Christ’s ascension; to
Friday as the day of His Passion
and Death; to Saturday because on
that day He lay in the grave; and
to Sunday because it was "the day
of His Resurrection. The right of
sanctuary was denied to violators
of the Truce.
