Jan. 3. Lateran. Pope Honorius III writes to the patriarch of Jerusalem and the archbishops of Tyre and Caesarea. 1 Latin metropolitan and 3 suffragan bishops have been established on Cyprus by the legates of the Holy See, but a Greek archbishop and Greek bishops have also been instituted without papal authority and maintain the Greek errors. It would be monstrous and against the constitutions of the general council for a diocese to have several bishops. He orders the patriarch of Jerusalem and the archbishops of Tyre and Caesarea to remove these Greek bishops, enjoining Greek abbots, priests and deacons in the kingdom of Cyprus to obey the Latin bishop established in their diocese, according to the convention made between Queen Alice and the prelates.
