text: Dec. 30. Lateran. Pope Honorius commends to Queen Alice of Cyprus C. Amochostanus episcopus, whom he is sending back to Cyprus. The bishop has informed the pope of the convention between the Cypriot church and Queen Alice of Cyprus [Oct. 1-31 1220]. The pope reports that he has confirmed the agreement. Alice has asked that those Greeks who are not obedient to the Roman church should be allowed to remain in residence. The pope replies that he wishes to favour Greeks who obey the apostolic see and to allow them to retain their customs and rites, but because it would be monstrous and against the constitutions of the general council for a diocese to have several bishops, he has ordered the patriarch of Jerusalem and the archbishops of Tyre and Caesarea to remove these [Greek] bishops, enjoining Greek abbots, priests and deacons in the kingdom of Cyprus to obey the [Latin] bishop established in their diocese The queen should assist. Otherwise over time the kingdom might be lost to the Roman church and even to Latin rule.

recipient: Archbishop of Nicosia and the bishop of Bethlehem
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.

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.
