This papal bull from 1312 was meant to negotiate a compromise between two disputing factions within the Order of Friars Minor (Franciscan) from the papal apartments in Avignon. The dispute was over the question of apostolic poverty and was heavily charged in political as well as ecclesiastical circles. Previously the ecumenical gathering at Vienne attempted to address the controversy, which would periodically appear for the next few decades.
