Church-history of the government of bishops and their councils abbreviated including the chief part…

§ 92. CCCLXXII. A Council at Capua chose this Victor, An. 1087. and when he was brought to Rome, they found Pope Clement in possession, and keeping it by Arms: but when they had fought, Victor's Soldiers proved Victors, and his Title to be best.

§ 93. CCCLXXIII. Victor had a Council at Benevent, where he damned Pope Clement and his Bishops, An. 1087. The grand Controversy of those times of the Pope against the Emperor and other Princes was, about Presentations to Bishoprics, or Investitures, which the Pope said, belonged to no Layman: Victor's Council again judged such Presentations or Collation of Bishoprics to be Sacrilege, and such Simoniacs that used them: And here it's worth the noting that they decree, (Bin. p. 1293.) That Penance and Communion may be received from none but a Catholic: And if no Catholic Priest be there, it is righter to persist without visible Communion, and to communicate invisibly with the Lord, than by taking it from a Heretic to be separated from God. For there is no Communion of Christ and Belial; nor of a Believer with an Infidel: But every Heretic is an Infidel: And a Simoniac because an Heretic, is an Infidel: For though Catholics because of the Heretics being over them, cannot have visible and corporal Communion, yet while in mind they are joined to Christ, they invisibly receive his Communion.]
