Endur...ing excommunication for a year without seeking its removal was evidence of heresy as to the sacraments and the power of the keys, if as to nothing else ; and some authorities were so rigid with regard to this that the Council of Beziers denounced the punishment of heresy for all who remained excommunicate for forty days. Even the delay of a twelvemonth, however, was evaded, for inquisitors were in- structed when citing the absent to summon them, not only to ap- pear, but to purge themselves within a given time, and then as soon as it had elapsed the accused was held to be convicted.
