RRR: 2926
year: 1253
text: . September 9. Assisi. Pope Innocent IV writes to [Bishop Bartolomeo of Limassol], relating that the bishop informed him that, since the clerics in his city and diocese had thus far lived without correction, they have become so insolent that their life and manners are completely opposed to clerical modesty, so that those who are supposed to be a mirror for people living dissolutely in fact greatly scandalize layfolk and provoke them to worse things by their bad example. So the bishop asked the pope humbly to provide a remedy. The pope grants him the authority to deprive those clerics of their benefices, without appeal, in order to force them to live properly like decent clerics, invoking the secular arm if necessary.

text: . September 9. Assisi. Pope Innocent IV writes to [Bishop Bartolomeo of Limassol], relating that the bishop informed him that the houses in which the canons live are excessively distant from Limassol Cathedral, and this gives these canons the opportunity to wander about and leads them to ill repute. The pope answers his entreaties favourably, granting the bishop the full faculty to use the common goods to construct a cloister and common houses next to the church, to sell the aforesaid houses and use the money for the construction, and to compel those who go against this through ecclesiastical censure, without appeal.
