[TO THE FAITHFUL IN ITALY AND GERMANY]
ENCYCLICAL OF GREGORY VII
1079


To the faithful in Italy and Germany, 1079.

If there are priests or deacons or subdeacons who live in fornication, forbid them in the name of God and by the authority of St. Peter to enter the church before they do penance and change their life. If they want to persevere in their sin none of you should dare to attend their services.

GREGORY VII
