Chapter I

A twice-married man is stripped of every clerical privilege and subjected to the secular forum. A contrary custom is not valid, and under anathema he is forbidden to wear the tonsure. John Andrew.

Gregory X at the General Council of Lyons. Deciding by the pronouncement of the present declaration a doubt of ancient dispute, we declare that twice-married men are stripped of every clerical privilege and given over to the coercion of the secular forum, notwithstanding a contrary custom. We also prohibit them under anathema from wearing the tonsure or clerical habit.
