Pope Innocent III Quotes2 of 2 |
||
|
This [Magna Carta] has been forced from the King. It constitutes an
insult to the Holy See, a serious weakening of the
royal power, a disgrace to the English nation, a danger to
all Christendom, since this civil war obstructs the
crusade. Therefore?we condemn the charter and forbid
the King to keep it, or the barons and their supporters to
make him do so, on pain of excommunication.
