A quarrel begins between Pope Boniface VIII …
Years: 1297 - 1297
A quarrel begins between Pope Boniface VIII and King Philip IV of France in 1296 over the question of royal taxation of the French church.
Boniface, in the bull Clericis laicos, prohibits clergy from paying taxes to secular power, arguing that taxing the church is grounds for excommunication, but threats of action against Italian banking houses—specifically, Philip’s threat to forbid the export of coins—force Boniface to give way.
Issuing, in 1297, Et si de statu, he admits the propriety of voluntary grants by churches to the state.
