Background

Prospero Lorenzo Lambertini was born into a noble family of Bologna,which was at that time the second largest city in the Papal States.

The conclave which elected him had lasted six months; he is alleged to have said to the cardinals: "If you wish to elect a saint, choose Gotti; a statesman, Aldrovandi; an honest man, elect me." His Papacy began in a time of great difficulties, chiefly caused by the disputes between Catholic rulers and the Papacy about governmental demands to nominate bishops rather than leaving the appointment to the Church.

Perhaps the most important act of Benedict XIV's pontificate was the promulgation of his famous laws about missions in the two bulls, Ex quo singulari and Omnium solicitudinum. In these bulls he ruled on the custom of accommodating Christian words and usages to express non-Christian ideas and practices of the native cultures, which had been extensively done by the Jesuits in their Indian and Chinese missions. An example of this is the statues of ancestors - there had long been uncertainty whether honor paid to ones ancestors was unacceptable 'ancestor worship,' or if it was something more like the Catholic veneration of the saints. This question was especially pressing in the case of an ancestor known not to have been a Christian. The choice of a Chinese translation for the name of God had also been debated since the early 17th century. Benedict XIV denounced these practices in these two bulls. The consequence of this was that many of these converts left the Church.

Type	Year	Crime
		Of murder: (1742) Father Bertrand Guillaudot and 5 others are burned alive at Dijon, France, for using magic to divine location of treasure.
		Of murder: (1749) German nun Maria Renata is beheaded then burned at Marienburg after nuns claim she climbed over convent walls as pig while possessed.
		Of historic crimes against humanity for the purpose of profiting from torture: (1757) That Pope Benedict XIV did authorize and approve the drafting of a Tariff of charges to be paid by the victim and the victim family for cost torture. That this document was ultimately published in Bonn, January 15, 1757.by the Bishop of Cologne, also being the Vaticans Official Executioner for the region. That this document reinforces the continued desire of the Roman Catholic Church to perpetuate barbaric cruelty and adopt perverse innovations such as a specific rate of charges for various torture.
