text: Mar. 23. Lateran. The bishop of Acre has complained to the pope that when the pope had ordered the clergy of the diocese of Acre to respect the bishop’s ordinary jurisdiction, the archbishop of Caesarea, gathering abbots, other clergy and laity together, suspended the bishop in his absence, placed an interdict on the church of Acre and excommunicated the canons, in spite of the fact that an appeal had already been lodged with Cardinal Pelagius of Albano, the papal legate. When Magister Anselmus canonicus Acconensis stated that the archbishop had acted against the statutes of the general council and began to read the pope’s letter to the archbishop, the archbishop had him expelled, tearing his clothes and ripping up the letter. Pope Honorius III orders the archbishop of Nicosia and the bishop of Bethlehem to investigate and, if they find the account is true, to force the archbishop of make satisfaction and reprimand him for his injury to the pope.

text: Mar. 28. Lateran. The bishop of Acre has complained to the pope that the clergy in the Genoese, Venetian and Pisan communities, and many bishops, have refused to owe him due obedience. These churchmen have argued, in spite of the many deadlines given by the pope and Cardinal Pelagius of Albano, that they are merely temporary residents [hospites] and exiles in the city. Pope Honorius III orders the clergy of the Genoese, Venetian and Pisan communities, and other bishops and clergy to subject themselves to the bishop. He orders the archbishop of Nicosia and the bishop of Bethlehem, to whom he also writes, to enforce his mandate.
