There is still no certainty that Innocent wrote the polemical tract ‘Eger cui lenia(levia)’. entry Exceptiones contra litteras et priuilegia). An Ordo iudiciarius exists which, at least in an early form, has been attributed to Innocent IV, but it seems very doubtful that he wrote such a work (cf. Innocent also wrote commentaries on his novelle, including an authoritative commentary on the Lyon deposition decree of Frederick II ( Ad apostolicae dignitatis apicem, VI 2.14.2). He prepared three collections of his own decretals, which included the constitutions of Lyon I ( Novelle Innocentii quarti). Innocent presided over the first general council of Lyon, in which the pope deposed Frederick II in absentia, and in which a number of important canons reforming aspects of ecclesiastical law and administration were enacted.Īs a jurist, Innocent IV wrote a lengthy and extremely influential Apparatus on the Decretals of Gregory IX, which he worked on over a long period of time and was finished c.1245. Innocent IV’s pontificate was notable for three things: a decisive struggle with the Emperor Frederick II, the Pope’s extended absence from Rome, and for his contributions to the canon law. He was elected Pope in 1243 after a long, rancorous vacancy following the brief pontificate of Celestine IV (1241). was made a cardinal by Pope Gregory IX in 1227. He worked as a jurist at the papal curia from 1226 and was for some time the auditor of the court of audientia litterarum contradictarum. Innocent studied law Parma and perhaps at Bologna Some accounts say that, early in his career, Innocent taught law in Bologna, but there is no evidence of this.

In particular, Chatton calls into question Ockham’s missed distinction between the existence and the presence of the intuited thing.Innocent IV, Pope (LC) Catholic Church. Ockham’s arguments include some difficulties that Chatton acutely sees and discusses. Instead, he believes that it is impossible for God to give us the intuition of things that absolutely do not exist or are in no way present to us. Walter Chatton opposes this conclusion, arguing that no contradiction ensues from that hypothesis.

For theological reasons, Ockham attributes not only to God but also to human beings the possibility of having acts of intuitive cognition of things that do not exist nonetheless, he holds that it is contradictory for God to give us the evident cognition of things that appear to be present when they are actually absent. The purpose is to show that the hypothetical case considered by Ockham was subjected to opposite interpretations. In this essay, we reconsider two themes particularly discussed by the interpreters of Ockham: that of divine omnipotence and the hypothesis of the intuitive cognition of non-existent things.
