the secular arm

the secular arm
светская власть (в отличие от церковной) [этим. ср.; лат. brachium seculare]

...although the Catholic Church and the Inquisition would not kill anybody directly, they nevertheless handed the condemned person over to what they called the secular arm - that is to say, the military or the civil power - knowing perfectly well the result would be that the person would be burnt to death. (B. Shaw, ‘Platform and Pulpit’, ‘Saint Joan’) — ...хотя католическая церковь и инквизиция сами никого не убивали, но они передавали осужденного, как они говорили, в руки светской власти, то есть военным или гражданским властям, прекрасно зная, что этого человека сожгут на костре.
