To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Apparently this violation of the Clementine rule of forty years led to some animadversion and, in the commission of Valdes, in 1547, there is no allusion to age. This example was followed until, in 1596, Clement VIII, in the commission to Portocarrero, inserted a minimum age limit of forty years, as required by the canons, adding that if enough suitable men of that age could not be found, as to which he charged Portocarrero's conscience, then men of thirty-five could be appointed, but if this w...ere done without necessity, the appointment would be invalid. To this Portocarrero objected, saying that it rendered it impossible for him to make appointments without scruples of conscience, as it was difficult to find suitable persons of the designated age to take the office, and he therefore begged that the limit should be reduced to thirty years, as had been done by all popes since Innocent VTII. Clement yielded, but was careful to insert a derogation of the apostolic constitutions and especially of the Clementine Nolentes?
