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.
