The Council of Montpellier held in the Year 1195.

M. MICHAEL, Legate of the See of Rome, passing over to Spain A. D. 1195. upon occa∣sion * 1.1 of an inrode which the Saracens had made against the Christians in the Territories of his most Catholick Majesty, who was oblig'd to retire to those of the King of France; held a Council of the Bishops of the Province of Narbonne at Montpellier, in which he reviv'd and published many Decrees of the latter Councils and Popes; amongst others, some about Peace and Truce; against Robbers and Pirates; concerning Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction, and the Prohibition to lay Taxes on Churches; against Usurers; about the Habits and Manners of the Clergy; the Frugality to be observ'd by Bishops in keeping their Tables, &c. He leaves the Archbishop of Narbonne, and his Suffragan Bishops, at liberty to denounce Ecclesiastical Censures against the Infringers of these Ordinances, or to supersede them, accordingly as they shall judge most expedient, lest the Hereticks should take an occasion from a general Suspension of long continuance, to per∣vert the Faithful, and to corrupt their Principles.
